Question

Explain the structure and occurence of connective tissue

Answer 1

Answer:

Connective tissue has three main components: cells, fibers, and ground substance. Together the ground substance and fibers make up the extracellular matrix. Connective tissue is classified into two sub-types: soft and specialized connective tissue.

Dense regular connective tissue is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion, giving it tensile strength in one direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

• A connective tissue is made up of three components: matrix, cells and fibres.

• The matrix is mainly a mixture of modified polysaccharides and proteins, which are secreted by the component cells of the tissue.

• Different types of cells such as fibroblasts, mast cells, adipose cells etc. occur in the matrix.

• In all connective tissues except blood, the cells secrete fibres made of collagen or elastin protein.

• These fibres provide strength, elasticity and flexibility to the tissue.
