What are the characteristics of connective tissue?
Connective tissue contains specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, ground substance (fluid) and matrix. Matrix is protein fibers and ground substance combined and it surrounds the specialized cells.
What is the nonliving material between connective tissue cells?
fibers and a ground substance
What three elements are present in all connective tissue?
The three main components of connective tissue are:Ground substanceExtracellular protein fibersSpecialized cells
The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?
Fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.
What organs are made of connective tissue?
Ligaments and tendons are made up of collagen fibers. These are very strong organic protein fibers. Weight for weight, they can be compared with steel wires.

Is tissue a collagen?
Collagen is a firorour connective tissue .
What is matrix as it pertains to connective tissue?
In biology, matrix refers to the tissue in animal or plant cells, where specialized structures are embedded. It is part of the mitochondrion where the oxidation of organic molecules occurs.
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.
What are the three main connections?
cells, fibers, and extracellular matrix. (:

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 organs are made of connective tissue?
Ligaments and tendons are made up of collagen fibers. These are very strong organic protein fibers. Weight for weight, they can be compared with steel wires.
Tissue is made of what?
nervous. Each is designed for specific functions.Tissue is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. A nonliving material, called the inter cellular matrix, fills the spaces between the cells. This may be abundant in some tissues and minimal in others. The intracellular matrix may contain special substances such as salts and fibers that are unique to a specific tissue and gives that tissue distinctive characteristics.Source(s):
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.
