ligaments are tough elastic fibres which connect bone to bone.
A tooth is primarily held in place by the periodontal ligament. The ligament runs the entire length of the tooth root surface and attaches to the bone of the jaw. The width of the ligament is typically less than a millimeter in width. There is a small amount of epithelial tissue (gum tissue) that covers the coronal (top) of the ligament and attaches to the tooth itself, but this attachment is not nearly as strong as the ligament. In periodontal disease (gum disease) bacteria colonize in the small pocket between the tooth and gum. If it remains long enough, the bacteria cause the body to respond in an inflammatory reaction. The immune system produces enzymes that destroy the attachment and the bone surrounding the tooth. Eventually, the tooth no longer has enough attachment and support to withstand the forces of biting and chewing, and the tooth becomes loose and has to be removed.
Periodontal ligaments are connective tissue which hold teeth in place by attaching them to the alveolar bone.
The "membrane that links a tooth the the bone of the jaw is called periodontal ligament. It is made of fibrous tissue arranged in groups of collagen fibres.
They include = cortico-spinal fibres + cortico-bulbar fibres + cortico-pontine fibres + cortico-rubral fibres + cortico-striate fibres
Collagen fibres, reticular fibres, and elastic fibres and protein fibres found in the cellular matrix.
Blended fibres is mixing 2 or more fibres to achieve the best fibres in the yarn.
connective
Cotton is all cotton fibres.
Cotton fibres are the fibres in cotton.
