What connective tissue has a jelly like matrix?

The connective tissue that has a jelly-like matrix is called "mucous connective tissue." This type of tissue contains fibroblasts and ground substance rich in hyaluronic acid, giving it a gel-like consistency. Mucous connective tissue is found in the umbilical cord of embryos.


Which is not part of an animal cell?

The part of the human body that is not a part of a cell is the extracellular environment which includes interstitial fluid, lymph, plasma, and cerebrospinal fluid. This in turn may contain other substances depending on which part of the body they are located. For example, connective tissues in the body rely on the extracellular matrix which gives them their properties. The most apparent one is the extracellular matrix that is mostly made of calcium and can be found as the hard parts of bone.


What inorganic material causes bone to ossify?

The extracellular matrix consists primarily of calcium and phosphorus in the form of hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2.


The material that forms the bulk of the tooth is?

Teeth are mostly made of enamel, which is a type of bone that is harder, with a more dense extracellular matrix, than regular bone. The other important factor is that bone is alive, yet enamel is not because it does not have access to blood like bone does.


What is the role of bone salts and the organic matrix in making the bone both hard and flexible?

Bone salts, such as calcium and phosphorus, provide hardness to bones by forming a mineralized matrix. The organic matrix, composed mainly of collagen fibers, gives bones flexibility by providing a framework for mineral deposition. Together, bone salts and the organic matrix work synergistically to make bones both strong and flexible.

Why are tendons hard?

Yes, hard but supple. There is a fine line there. When you say hard, I assume you mean tougher than muscle and skin. All tissues are held together primarily by proteins secreted by cells that surround the cells called extracellular matrix. Cells alone are generally not very sturdy. The extracellular matrix is a combination of proteins that vary depending on what part of the body and what cells are secreting the proteins. The main structural proteins are collagens and elastin which are long helical (corkscrew shaped) proteins. Tendons and ligaments have more collagen and elastin than most tissues and this is what accounts for most of their durability. The types of collagen (and other proteins) and how they are hooked together (crosslinked) also has a large effect on the properties of the tissue. For example, the durability of cartilage is also due to extracellular matrix proteins but its character is very different from tendons and ligaments because the types and associations of the proteins is different.


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.


What are the hard and soft matrix used in Impregnated diamond core bit - I'm confused about the fact that a hard matrix is used in sedimentary or soft rocks while a soft matrix is used for hard rocks?

Hard matrix is supposed to be used for digging hard rocks and soft matrix for soft rocks. It's quite confusing to me

What type of connective tissue Matrix is hard due to calcium salts forms the hip bone?

The type of connective tissue matrix that is hard due to calcium salts and forms the hip bone is known as bone tissue, specifically osseous tissue. This matrix is mineralized, primarily composed of hydroxyapatite crystals, which provide strength and rigidity. Bone tissue also contains collagen fibers that contribute to its structural integrity and flexibility. Overall, this unique composition allows bones to support the body and protect vital organs.


What type of connective tissue matrix hard?

Bone


What is the matrix hard owing to calcium salts?

Osseous tissue has cells that are arranged in concentric circles around a nutrient canal matrix and is hard due to calcium salts.

What is Osteoid tissue?

Osteoid tissue is an organic component of bone that forms before it gets mineralized into hard bone tissue. It consists mainly of collagen and provides a framework for mineral deposition, contributing to the strength and flexibility of bones.


Name a connective tissue with a hard matrix?

bone (osseous) tissue


Why can a bone not grow interstitially?

Because of the hard calcium salts in the matrix
