What fibers are found in intervertebral discs?
fibro cartilage
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.
What is a type of connective tissue that is organizes into a system of fibers or embedded into a ground substance or matrix?
collagen
What are three places can cartilage be found?
It can be found in more than three places. But there are three types.Fibrous cartilage has a lot of collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.Hyaline cartilage is found in the embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, costal cartilages, cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx.Elastic cartilage has elastic fibers in the matrix and it is found in the external ear and epiglottis.
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
What is the matrix composed of in cartilage?
Collagen Fibers
Can you find some collagen fibers in the cartilage?
yes
What fibers are found in intervertebral discs?
fibro cartilage
What are the important organic bone components?
Bone Cells, Collagen Fibers, Ground Substance
The network of fibers in cartilage is made from two proteins called what?
Elastin and Collagen
What substance gives the tendon its strength?
collagen fibers
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.
Does the matrix of hyaline cartilage consist of abundant collagen fibers hidden in a rubbery matrix?
yes
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 is a type of connective tissue that is organizes into a system of fibers or embedded into a ground substance or matrix?
collagen
Is cartilage and calcium the same thing?
No. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found in living things. It's made mostly of Collagen fibers. Calcium is an elemental substance. -S.M. No, they are not. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that is found in parts of the human body such as the nose and ear. Although it is a calcium based substance it is not necessarily the same. Calcium is pretty helpful for most living organisms and, basically, is different than cartilage. =D -A.C
What is the chemical composition of the matrix in cartilage?
proteoglycans - heaprin sulfate , chondroitin sulfate , keratan sulfate , GAG's Non-proteoglycans - Hyaluronic acid collagen , elastin , fibronectin , laminin
