Will collagen dissolve in water?
Yes and no. Collagen will dissolve in water, but only at the right pH. At physiological pH (pH7.4) collagen is a stable structural protein which forms the scaffolding for skin and connective tissue in a body that is mostly water. What helps collagen stay stable in the body is also that it is crosslinked with glucosaminoglycans such as chondroitin or hyaluronic acid. Collagen can also be crosslinked in a lab with heat in the absence of water or with chemicals such as carbidiimide or glutaraldehyde. Collagen should start dissolving under pH5.
Which type of connective tissue contains primarily triglycerides?
Adipose tissue contains triglycerides commonly used for insulation, protection, and cushioning shock.
Why is blood considered connective tissue?
The cells of a connective tissue are loosely scattered in a matrix. The matrix can be a fluid, jelly like, dense or rigid. The nature of matrix depends on the function a connective tissue serves.as Blood is composed of blood cells, platelets and plasma. Blood plays an important role in transportation of various substances in the body. It also helps in osmoregulation and temperature control.so blood is called connective tissue
Why is cartilage important?
Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue. It is composed of collagen fibers and/or elastin fibers, and cells called chondrocytes, all of which are embedded in a firm gel-like ground substance called the matrix. Cartilage is avascular (contains no blood vessels) and nutrients are diffused through the matrix. Cartilage serves several functions, including providing a framework upon which bone deposition can begin and supplying smooth surfaces for the movement of articulating bones. Cartilage is found in many places in the body including the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs.Gotten from yahoo answers.
What are tissue made out of?
It is a replacement tissue in an injured tissue, which is made up of connective tissue reguardless of whether the injury was in fact on the epithelium level. It is considered non-funtional because it does not carry out the function of the tissue that was replaced.
What does the extracellular matrix of connective tissue consist of?
Collagen is the connective tissue.
Bone is what kind of tissue?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
Is tissue a collagen?
Collagen is a firorour connective tissue .
What is osteoid and what is hydroxyapatite what are the functional qualities of osteoid and hydroxyapatite of bone tissue?
osteoid is the primary semisolid bone matrix that is secreted by osteoblast. hydroxyapatite is a crystalized mineral that surrounds collagen fibers of the matrix to solidify bone.
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 are the parts of bone matrix?
bone matrix the intercellular substance of bone, consisting of collagenous fibers, ground substance, and inorganic salts.
What is a type of connective tissue that is organizes into a system of fibers or embedded into a ground substance or matrix?
collagen
Does loose connective tissue contain chondrocytes?
No, Chondrocytes are found in a flexible connective tissue. Specifically, they are the chondroblasts in the collagen matrix of cartilage.
What are the skeletal bones made out of?
Osseous tissue, it's main constituent is collagen (type I collagen to be precise) produced by fibroblasts. Along with associated molecules (calcium, phosphorous and magnesium ions). Osteoblasts are the cells that move over bone tissue to deposit these molecules and crystalise them, including collagen Type I, together to form the bone mineral (a collagenous matrix structure) NB, collagen is a protein synthesised in the body by fibroblasts.

Which fibers are seen in embedded in the matrix of connective tissue?
The matrix of connective tissue is composed of collagen, reticular, and elastic fibers embedded in ground substance (typically composed of water with stabilizing proteins). The fibers are made by fibroblasts and the most abundant in the body is collagen, while the least abundant is elastic.
What kind of tissue bone?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
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.
