What else can I help you with?
What is a strong tissue that contracts?
Dense connective tissue such as tendons, which are very fibrose and very difficult to sever normally. Other tissues that are capable of contracting are smooth muscular and skeletal muscular, though the latter is stronger. Dense connective tissue does not contract. Muscle tissue does.
What are the similarities and the differences between ligament and tendon?
They both are made of the same tissue called connective tissue which is very strong. They have different names because of where the are and what they do. Tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to bones.
What type of tissue is areolar?
Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that provides support and cushioning to the organs in the body. It is made up of a gel-like matrix with various types of cells such as fibroblasts and immune cells, as well as collagen and elastic fibers. Areolar tissue is found beneath the skin, around blood vessels, and between muscles.
What type of tissues have a matrix?
the connective tissure has the greatest amount of intercellular matrix. Bone has very few cells, large amounts of intercellular matrix.Bone is in the Connective Tissue categorie.
What type of tissue would likely be composed of cells that contain many mitochondria?
Cells that do a lot of work or activity such as muscle cells.
What is a strong tissue that contracts?
Dense connective tissue such as tendons, which are very fibrose and very difficult to sever normally. Other tissues that are capable of contracting are smooth muscular and skeletal muscular, though the latter is stronger. Dense connective tissue does not contract. Muscle tissue does.
What strong connective tissue that connects bones to bones?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. The very same tissue attaches bone to bones and they are called ligaments.
What strong connective tissue that attaches muscles to bone is an?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. The very same tissue attaches bone to bones and they are called ligaments.
Collagenous fibers can be found extensively in?
Collagenous fibers can be found extensively in connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin. They provide strength and support to these tissues by forming a dense network that helps resist tensile forces.
Skeletal muscles are held to the bones with the help of?
Fascia, a connective tissue that is very strong and wraps all the muscle cells.
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 are the similarities and the differences between ligament and tendon?
They both are made of the same tissue called connective tissue which is very strong. They have different names because of where the are and what they do. Tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to bones.
Which connective tissue is membranous and holds your skin to your muscles?
There is no connective tissue that holds muscles to the skin. That would be dysfunctional because you would have very limited motion. There is, however, connective tissue between the muscles and the skin, but they are loose and do not bind one to the other. The tissue between the skin and the muscles is called superficial fasia.
What is the dominant fiber type in dense connctive tissue?
The dominant fiber type in dense connective tissue is collagen fibers. These fibers provide strength and support to the tissue, making it tough and resistant to mechanical stress.
Are tendons made up of dense irregular connective tissue?
Yes. An example is in the dermis, which is very vascular. Dense regular connective tissue is not, however (consists of tendons and ligaments). The other kind of CT that is not vascular is cartilage. Source: medical school lectures
What is the effect of having very little connective tissue?
It really depends on what specific connective tissue you are talking about. Examples of connective tissues are skin, blood, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Based on the deficiency, serious problems or possibly death will occur.
What organs are made of connective tissue?
Some organs that are made of connective tissue include the skin, tendons, ligaments, and the dermis layer of the skin. Connective tissue provides structure and support to these organs, as well as flexibility and protection.
