What is the connective tissue covering called that encloses the sarcolemma of an individual muscle fiber?
The connective tissue covering that encloses the sarcolemma of an individual muscle fiber is called endomysium. It surrounds each muscle fiber and provides support and protection to the muscle cells.
Is collagen and connective tissue the same?
Technically they are the same. Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.
Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix for these connective tissue types?
Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix for various connective tissue types, including loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and specialized connective tissues like tendons and ligaments. The extracellular matrix produced by fibroblasts provides structural support, flexibility, and resilience to these connective tissues.
What is elastic connective tissue?
Elastic cartilage is found predominately in the external ear and as well as around the epiglottis. Elastic cartilage is similar to hyaline cartilage, but its matrix contains many elastic fibers along with the delicate collagen fibrils. This cartilage is more elastic than hyaline cartilage and better able to tolerate repeated bending. The epiglottis, which bends down to cover the glottis (opening) of the larynx each time we swallow, is made of elastic cartilage, as is the highly bendable cartilage in the outer ear.
What is the fiber type that gives connective tissue great strength?
Collagen is the fiber type that gives connective tissue great strength. It is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides structural support and tensile strength to tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.
What is the dominant fiber type in postural muscles?
fast glycolitic
What is the most common connective tissue fiber in the dermis?
collagenous fibersSubcutaneous tissue
What protein fiber are in scar tissue?
collagen
What is the term for a Smaller fiber in a muscle fiber?
The smaller fiber in a muscle fiber is called a myofibril. A band of tissue that connects bone to bone is called a ligament.
Which structure would be very numerous in muscle tissue?
fiber
What tissue insulates each muscle fiber?
endomysium
What does the word fiber mean?
Fiber can mean two things. Fiber is a thread formed from a vegetable tissue, mineral substance, or textile. Fiber can also mean a substance formed of such threads.
What is the name of the loose areole connective tissue covering of an individual muscle fiber?
The endomysium is the correct answer.Endomysium is the name of the fine connective tissue sheath that surrounds each individual muscle fiber.
What is the connective tissue covering called that encloses the sarcolemma of an individual muscle fiber?
The connective tissue covering that encloses the sarcolemma of an individual muscle fiber is called endomysium. It surrounds each muscle fiber and provides support and protection to the muscle cells.
What are discs?
Discs are pads of fiber and cartilage that contain rubbery tissue
Which cell produce the protein fiber in areolar connective tissue?
Fibroblast
