What fibers are responsible for resistance in tendons?
Collagen Fibers, made up of fibrous protein, which are bundled together into thick collagen fibers. Collagen fibers are extremely tough and provides high tensile strength (which provides resistant property of tendons) Stress tests have show collagen fibers to be stronger than steel fibers of the same size.....EB
How does the collagen structure of hypertrophic scars differ from that of keloids?
The collagen fibers in a hypertrophic scar are shorter and generally arranged in a wavelike pattern, whereas the collagen fibers in keloids tend to be randomly arranged
What fibers are found in intervertebral discs?
fibro cartilage
What makes up the organic and inorganic portions of matrix?
The two major components of the matrix are ground substances and fibers. Fibers can be broken into the classes; collagen, elastic and reticular fibers.
Is it true during fibrosis fibroblasts in the granulation tissue lays down keratin fibers?
No. The answer is collagen fibers not keratin fibers.
Name the 3 types of fibers in areolar connective tissue?
the three basic types of fibers that are found in connective tissue are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers
What produces collagen fibers that span the break?
Collagen fibers is needed to reach the break and to connect the end of broken bones. The collagen fibers are produced by Fibroblasts.
What protein is in the dermis?
collagen fibers
What is the dominant fiber type in dense connctive tissue?
Collagen fibers. They are very strong fibers.
What are types of fibers found in fibrocartilage?
collagen fibers

Does the dermis contain both elastic and collagen fibers?
yes the dermis contains both elastic and collagen fibers
What is the reason that intervertebral discs exhibit a large amount of tensile strength?
Because they have collagen fibers :)
What are the important organic bone components?
Bone Cells, Collagen Fibers, Ground Substance
What are the types of fibers found in the dermis?
Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix.
Are collagen fibers inelastic?
yes..
What is the difference between a collagen fiber and a collagen fibril?
Collagen fibers are made up of many collagen fibrils (smaller individual unit)
