What tissue is composed of matrix different cell types and fibers?

Connective tissue
Connective tissue is classified based on the characteristics of its cellular and extracellular components. The main criteria are the type of cells, arrangement and type of fibers, and composition of the extracellular matrix.

Which tissue contains all fiber types?

Areolar Tissue
Areolar Tissue. This is a loose connective tissue widely spread throughout the body. It contains all three types of fibers (collagen, elastin, and reticular) with much ground substance and fibroblasts.

What is matrix in connective tissue?

Connective tissues are made up of a matrix consisting of living cells and a non-living substance, called the ground substance. The matrix in connective tissues gives the tissue its density. When a connective tissue has a high concentration of cells or fibers, it has proportionally a less dense matrix.

Which connective tissue is beneath the skin?

adipose tissue
The adipose tissue is also a loose connective tissue that is found beneath the skin.

What is the main component of matrix?

The main ingredients of the extracellular matrix are glycoproteins secreted by the cells. (Recall that glycoproteins are proteins with covalently bound carbohydrates, usually short chains of sugars.) The most abundant glycoprotein in the ECM of most animal cells is collagen, which forms strong fibers outside the cells.

Where are connective tissue fibers found in the body?

Provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibers; found in tendons. Acts as a storage depot for fat. Composes the dermis of the skin. Forms the bony skeleton. Composes the basement membrane and packages organs; includes a gel-like matrix with all categories of fibers and many cell types.

Which is a major cell type in connective tissue?

Primarily parallel collagen fibers, few elastic fibers, major cell type is fibroblast. Function: Attaches muscle to bone or muscle to muscule, attaches bone to bone, withstands great tensile stress while pulling force is applied in one direction. Location: Tendon, most ligament, aponeuroses (whatever that is.).

Where are collagen fibers found in the body?

Provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagen fibers; found in tendons Composes the basement membrane and packages organs; includes a gel-like matrix with all categories of fibers and many cell types Forms the embryonic skeleton and the surfaces of bones at the joints; reinforces the trachea

Which is the best description of dense fibrous tissue?

Terms in this set (10) Provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibers; found in tendons. Dense Fibrous Acts as a storage depot for fat. Adipose Composes the dermis of the skin. Dense Fibrous Forms the bony skeleton. Osseous

Which is the best description of muscle tissue?

Muscle tissue: Contracts to cause movement • Muscles attached to bones (skeletal) • Muscles of heart (cardiac) • Muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth) Epithelial tissue: Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters • Skin surface (epidermis) • Lining of GI tract organs and other hollow organs
