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.
What is the matrix in blood called?
The matrix of blood is called plasma
Blood is best classified as connective tissue because?
its cells can be separated from each other by an extracellular matrix.
What is another name for calcium salt in bone?
Another name for Calcium salts in bone is hydroxyapatite. The extracellular mix in blood called plasma is the matrix.
Which blood is called connective tissue?
What defines a connective tissue is living cells surrounded by a non-living extracellular matrix. The red and white blood cells are the living cells and the plasma they float in is the non-living extracellular matrix therefore blood is classified as a connective 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.
What is matrix in blood cell?
Typically when the word "matrix" is used in cytological or histological context it referes to the extracellular matrix, which is the area in a tissue not occupied by cells, or the area between cells.
IN which type of connective tissue are the fibers dissolved in a liquid matrix?

What is the make up of the matrix in the connective tissue?
The Extracellular Matrix
