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.

Tendons are composed of what tissue?

There are many types of connective tissues. They all have a matrix of extracellular material and they all have cells that excrete the matrix. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues, loose connective tissue tends to be found around organs. Blood and bone are also considered connective tissues.


What is the strongest elastic material found in a human tendon?

Collagen is the main component of tendons and is the strongest elastic material found in human tendons. It provides strength, flexibility, and support to tendons to help withstand tension and force during movement.


What type of connective tissue is composed of longitudinal bands of collagen comprising ligaments and tendons?

Dense regular connective tissue is composed of longitudinal bands of collagen fibers. It is found in structures like ligaments and tendons, providing strength and support for movement.


When do the fibers typical of a connective tissue matrix appear in blood?

Fibers typical of a connective tissue matrix, such as collagen and elastic fibers, are not normally found in blood. Blood primarily consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Fibers typically found in connective tissue are found in tissues like tendons, ligaments, and the extracellular matrix of organs.


What is collagen classified as?

Collagen is classified as a structural protein found in the connective tissues of animals, including humans. It provides strength and elasticity to skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
