Is tissue a collagen?
Collagen is a firorour connective tissue .
Young bone cells that secrete collagen fibers are called?
periostea
What is another name for cartilage cells?
Cartilage is composed of cells called chondrocytes. Chondrocytes produce extracellular matrix of collagen fibers, ground substance, and elastin. Cartilage is the only connective tissue that does not contain blood vessels.
Why does the endometrium have many cells but no collagen and elastic fibers?
Because the endometrium is an epithelial tissue. Collagen and elastic fibers are produced by Fibroblasts which are found in connective tissue not epitheliam. Does that answer your question? Or do you want a more indepth response?
About cartilage cells Iask why chondrocytes are embeded in the matrix is this to prevent these rounded cells from rupture if there is pressure on the cartilage?
Short answer- the chondrocytes are embedded in the matrix because matrix is what these cells produce, and there's no where else for it to go! So, basically, you've got it backwards, chondrocytes can be as smooshy and forgiving as a skin cell, so they don't need protection; they're there to provide protection in the form of cartilage to other organs or surfaces. Longer answer- Cartilage is composed of cells (chondrocytes) that live in little spaces (lacuna, lacunae for plural). These cells are the ones that create the matrix, which is further composed of collagen fibers, ground substance (proteoglycans mostly) and elastic fibers. The proportions of the above result in different characteristics of the material- more elastic fibers and fewer collagen fibers result in bendy cartilage, like you find in your nose and ears. Lots of collagen and proteoglycans results in harder tissue, as you would find in your windpipe (trachea) and between joints of your bones. Interestingly, cartilage is one of the few "avascular" tissues (no blood vessels) in the body- it survives by absorbing oxygen and excreting waste by diffusion through the matrix. This is one of the reasons it's so slow to heal, so take care of those sprained ankles!
What are the types of fibers found in the dermis?
Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix.
What are the cells that produce organic matrix in bone?
The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.

What are the important organic bone components?
Bone Cells, Collagen Fibers, Ground Substance
What is the most abundant protein found in the extracellular matrix of animal cells?
COLLAGEN
Can osteoblasts divide?
Yes, they divide, and as they divide, they create bone matrix and collagen fibers. As the osteoblasts become surrounded by the bone matrix, it hardens, enclosing the cells in a lacuna, transforming them into osteocytes. Osteocytes cannot divide.
Why are cartilage soft?
Cartilage is soft because of its construction and function as connective tissue. It contains a matrix full of chondrocytes and strong collagen fibers that add to its suppleness and flexibility.
What tissue type cells contained in extracellular matrix composed of collagen and elastin?
fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.fibroblasts
Young bone cells that secrete collagen fibers are called?
periostea
The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?
Fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.
Are collagen fibers visible to the naked eye?
no. what you are probably looking at (if you have injured yourself) is muscle fibers and fat cells.
What are the three main connections?
cells, fibers, and extracellular matrix. (:
