Collagen is the connective tissue.
The cells are often bound to the extracellular matrix by proteins in the plasma membrane. The extracellular matrix is the structural support of tissue.
The long fibres of protein found in the extracellular matrix that provide structural support for cells are called microtubules. They are hollow rods that are essential to cell shape and support.
cells, fiber, and extracellular matrix. Connective tissue is a huge part of tendons, ligaments, joints, and even muscle.
The Extracellular Matrix
Fibroblats produce extracellular matrix for these connective tissue types Which are they?

No :)
The extracellular matrix is a characteristic of connective tissue.
