  2. Dense regular connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Dense_regular_connective_tissue

    The collagen fibers in dense regular connective tissue are bundled in a parallel fashion. DRCT is divided into white fibrous connective tissue and yellow fibrous connective tissue, both of which occur in two forms: cord arrangement and sheath arrangement. [1] In cord arrangement, bundles of collagen and matrix are distributed in regular ...

  3. Dense connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_connective_tissue

    Dense connective tissue, also called dense fibrous tissue, is a type of connective tissue with fibers as its main matrix element. [1] The fibers are mainly composed of type I collagen . Crowded between the collagen fibers are rows of fibroblasts , fiber-forming cells, that generate the fibers.

  4. Collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    Collagen (/ ˈ k ɒ l ə dʒ ə n /) is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix of a body's various connective tissues. As the main component of connective tissue, it is the most abundant protein in mammals.

  5. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    Dense connective tissue also known as fibrous tissue [8] is subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue. [9] Dense regular connective tissue, found in structures such as tendons and ligaments , is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion, giving it tensile strength in one direction.

  6. Type I collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_collagen

    Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen of the human body, consisting of around 90% of the body's total collagen in vertebrates. Due to this, it is also the most abundant protein type found in all vertebrates. Type I forms large, eosinophilic fibers known as collagen fibers, which make up most of the rope-like dense connective tissue in ...

  7. Fibroblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroblast

    A fibroblast is a type of biological cell typically with a spindle shape [1] that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen, [2] produces the structural framework for animal tissues, and plays a critical role in wound healing. [3] Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals.

    For example, probiotics—which are usually sold in the vitamin aisle—sometimes require refrigeration. Also, capsules that contain liquid or oil may deteriorate more quickly than those that don’t.

  9. Ground substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_substance

    Ground substance is an amorphous gel-like substance in the extracellular space of animals that contains all components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) except for fibrous materials such as collagen and elastin. [1] Ground substance is active in the development, movement, and proliferation of tissues, as well as their metabolism.
