What types of connective tissue fill in the spaces?
the extracellular matrix. It contains a gel-like ground substance and protein fibers. connective tissues have a lot of extracellular matrix compared to epithelial tissues that have very little.
What type of tissue possesses an abundant extracellular matrix?
Connective tissue has an extracellular matrix
Abundant nonliving extracellular matrix?
connective tissue
Hard extracellular matrix forms trabeculae?
bone
What enables cells to stick to each other?
extracellular matrix
Does connective tissue have an epithelial origin?
No, it does not. But it does have relatively few cells and a large amount of extracellular matrix.
What the alveoli?
The alveoli consist of an epithelial layer and extracellular matrix surrounded by capillaries.
An extracellular ground substance is characteristics of?
The extracellular matrix is a characteristic of connective tissue.
What has the author Shirley Elizabeth Pullan written?
Shirley Elizabeth Pullan has written: 'Regulation of apoptosis in mammary epithelial cells by extracellular matrix'
What best classifies connective tissues?
cell type and amount of extracellular matrix
What does the extracellular matrix of connective tissue consist of?
Collagen is the connective tissue.
Is there a valves wall of each air sac in the lung?
No there isn't. The alveoli (air sack) consist of an epithelial layer and extracellular matrix surrounded by capillaries.
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 types of connective tissue fill in the spaces?
the extracellular matrix. It contains a gel-like ground substance and protein fibers. connective tissues have a lot of extracellular matrix compared to epithelial tissues that have very little.
How does matrix get to its characteristic position?
By far the most abundant extracellular material is the extracellular matrix. Most body cells are in contact with a jelly like substance composed of proteins and polysaccharides. These molecules are secreted by the cells and self assemble into an organized mesh in the extracellular space, where they serve as a universal "cell glue" that helps hold the body cells together.
What is the make up of the matrix in the connective tissue?
The Extracellular Matrix
