The fibers in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue are made of?
protein
What are the three main connections?
cells, fibers, and extracellular matrix. (:
Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix for these connective tissue types?
Fibroblats produce extracellular matrix for these connective tissue types Which are they?
What are the characteristics of connective tissue?
Connective tissue contains specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, ground substance (fluid) and matrix. Matrix is protein fibers and ground substance combined and it surrounds the specialized cells.
What does the extracellular matrix of connective tissue consist of?
Collagen is the connective tissue.
What are cells often bound to the extracellular matrix by?
The cells are often bound to the extracellular matrix by proteins in the plasma membrane. The extracellular matrix is the structural support of tissue.
Which extracellular material is found in ligaments and tendons?
The space between cells can be called the extracellular space, the extracellular material, or the extracellular matrix. This space is not a vacuum; it is filled with material. If the material is gel-like it is called the ground substance, which is filled with many dissolved solute particles, and the tissue will be loose. If the material in the extracellular space has some fibers of protein in it, the entire tissue will have a stronger consistency.
Cartilage is another name for bone?
No. Cartilage is not another name for bone. It is hard tissue like bone, but is mostly made of collagen fibers, whereas bone is mostly made of extracellular matrix that contains calcium and phosphorus.
What is the difference between matrix and ground substance?
Extracellular matrix includes not just ground substance, but also protein fibers. Ground substance consists of fluid, nonfibrous protein and other molecules.
What is the make up of the matrix in the connective tissue?
The Extracellular Matrix
Who produce the fibers and ground substances that form the matrix of fibrous connective tissue?
1. Connective Tissue Proper- Extracellular fibers and a syrupy ground substances2. Fluid Connective Tissue- Watery matrix3. Supporting Connective Tissue- Densely packed fibers, the matrix consists of calcium salts
What types of connective tissue fill in the spaces?
the extracellular matrix. It contains a gel-like ground substance and protein fibers. connective tissues have a lot of extracellular matrix compared to epithelial tissues that have very little.
