Strands of fibrous tissue are commonly referred to as collagen fibers. These fibers are a key component of connective tissues, providing strength and structural support to various organs and tissues in the body. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
What else can I help you with?
When are fibrous strands poorly aligned?
Fibrous strands are poorly aligned in tissues with disorganized collagen fibers, such as in scar tissue or when healing occurs rapidly, leading to a weaker and less functional structure. This lack of alignment can affect the mechanical strength and flexibility of the tissue.
What is the strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk called?
The strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk is called the annulus fibrosus.
What is the material in the center of the ovary called?
Stroma is a vascular fibrous tissue found in the center of the ovary.

What is a strand of fibrous tissue that provides longitudinal support of a component of the coccygeal ligament?
Filum terminale or terminal thread is a fragile fibrous tissue strand which is the longitudinal support of the spinal cord. Its upper part is called filum terminale internum and the lower part called filum terminale externum.
When are fibrous strands poorly aligned?
Fibrous strands are poorly aligned in tissues with disorganized collagen fibers, such as in scar tissue or when healing occurs rapidly, leading to a weaker and less functional structure. This lack of alignment can affect the mechanical strength and flexibility of the tissue.
The fibrous tissue that covers cartilage is called?
The fibrous tissue that covers cartilage is called the perichondrium. It provides support and nutrients to the cartilage.
What are the thin tough elastic strands of meat called?

What is the fibrous sac of connective tissue that encloses the heart called?
The fibrous sac of tissue that encloses the heart is the pericardium. It provides protection for the heart.
What is the strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk called?
The strong fibrous tissue outer periphery of the intervertebral disk is called the annulus fibrosus.
Replacement of bone marrow by fibrous tissue called?
Myelofibrosis.
What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
What attaches muscles to the bone?
A tough, fibrous tissue called tendons.
What is the medical term meaning scar?

Tissue that provides support for the body?
The tissue that provides support for the body is connective tissue. Connective tissue adds support and also structure to the human body. It contains fibrous strands of protein collagen. Examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, and cartilage.
What type of joint is held together by connective tissue strands?
Fibrous joints are connected by collagen fibers. There are three types of fibrous joints in the human body: sutures between the skull bones, syndesmoses (distal articulation of tibia and fibula) and gomphoses (articulations of teeth in jaw bones). The only gomphoses in the human body are the attachment of the roots of the teeth in the sockets of the alveolar processes of the lower-jaw (mandible) and upper-jaw (maxillae).
The fibrous connective tissue sheath which encloses a whole muscle is called the?
fascia
