ligaments
Connective tissue is made of cells, and cells do not contain other cells (if they are healthy; bacterial infection would be an exception). Cells do contain structural elements that connect them to other cells, but that is not the same thing as connective tissue.
No, loose connective tissue does not contain chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in cartilage tissue, not in loose connective tissue. Loose connective tissue primarily consists of collagen and elastin fibers, along with various cells such as fibroblasts and macrophages.
No, breasts do not contain muscle tissue. They are made up of glandular tissue, fat, and connective tissue.
Bone is not connective tissue. Instead, connective tissue -- ligaments and tendons -- connect to the bone.
Ligaments are made of connective tissue and these connect bones to bones. The same connective is called a ligament if it connects muscle to bones.
Yes, connective tissue contains extracellular matrix, which is a non-living material that provides structural support and connects cells within the tissue.
No the tendons are part of the connective tissue
Bone is a type of connective tissue that provides structure and support to the body. It is composed of cells, fibers, and minerals that give it strength and rigidity. Bones also serve as a site for mineral storage and blood cell production.
The bottom layer attached to connective tissue is called the basement membrane. It serves as a supportive layer that anchors epithelial tissues to the underlying connective tissue, providing structural support and playing a role in filtration and tissue regeneration. The basement membrane consists of a thin sheet of extracellular matrix, primarily composed of collagen and glycoproteins.
Muscles are attached to tendons ( a dense connective tissue) which are then attached to Bones. Muscles -> Tendons -> Bones
connective tissue
Yes, connective tissue contains a large amount of extracellular matrix, which is comprised of proteins and ground substance. This matrix provides support, strength, and elasticity to the tissue. The specific composition of the matrix can vary depending on the type of connective tissue.
