What else can I help you with?
What is a hard protein material found in skin and connective tissue?
keratin
Is it true during fibrosis fibroblasts in the granulation tissue lays down keratin fibers?
No, fibroblasts lay down collagen fibers during fibrosis, not keratin fibers. Keratin is a protein that is typically found in skin, hair, and nails, while collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts produce collagen to help repair and replace damaged tissue during the process of fibrosis.
Are toenails living or nonliving?
Toenails are considered nonliving structures, similar to hair. They are made up of a protein called keratin, which is produced by specialized cells in the body. Once the cells have produced the keratin, they die and the keratin becomes the hard, protective material that forms the toenail.
Is it true during fibrosis fibroblasts in the granulation tissue lay down keratin fibers which form a strong compact but inflexible mass?
No, fibroblasts do not lay down keratin fibers in fibrosis. Instead, they produce collagen fibers that contribute to the dense and stiff scar tissue formation seen in fibrosis. Keratin is a type of structural protein found in skin, hair, and nails, not generally involved in fibrosis.
Is hair dead tissue?
Yes, hair is primarily made up of a protein called keratin, which is a form of dead cells. The living part of the hair is the hair follicle, located underneath the scalp, that supplies nutrients and support for hair growth. Once hair emerges from the scalp, it is considered dead tissue.
What is the protein that helps protect the skin and underlying tissue?
Keratin
What is the protein found in nails and hair?
Keratin is the protein in the epidermis that helps protect the skin and underlying tissue. Keratin is strong and waterproof.
What is a hard protein material found in skin and connective tissue?
keratin
What protein is found in the skin hair and nails?
Nails are made of up the protein called keratin, which is a tough and insoluble structual protein. It is basically dead skin cells.
Is hair a tissue?
Yes, hair is considered a type of tissue. It is made up of a protein called keratin, which is also found in other types of tissue such as skin and nails. Hair grows from hair follicles within the skin.
Is it true during fibrosis fibroblasts in the granulation tissue lays down keratin fibers?
No, fibroblasts lay down collagen fibers during fibrosis, not keratin fibers. Keratin is a protein that is typically found in skin, hair, and nails, while collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts produce collagen to help repair and replace damaged tissue during the process of fibrosis.
What type of tissue makes up the stratum corneum?
Keratin is the protein predominant in the stratum corneum.
What type tissue is the nails?
Your nails come from nail bed. Nails are connected to the skin below. The trauma to the nails is borne by large surface area. This gives very strong support to nails to withstand the applied force on the nails. Nails of some animals are very strong as a result.
What layer of the epidermis contains protein fibres?
No, there is not dense connective tissue in the epidermis. There is loose connective tissue right below the epidermis (areolar connective tissue).
What are feet made of?
Cow's feet are made up of bone, keratin and tissue. The bone is called the pedal bone.
Is the liver considered a tissue or an organ?
The liver is considered an organ, not a tissue.
What is outside of the wall on a horses hoof?
soft tissue and muscle. i think.... The outside wall of a hoof is keratin--same as fingernails.
