    Hyaline cartilage, makes up 50% of all cartilage protein. Vitreous humour of the eye. COL2A1: Collagenopathy, types II and XI: III: This is the collagen of granulation tissue and is produced quickly by young fibroblasts before the tougher type I collagen is synthesized. Reticular fiber. Also found in artery walls, skin, intestines and the ...

  3. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    The osteoblasts form new lamellar bone upon the recently exposed surface of the mineralized matrix. This new lamellar bone is in the form of trabecular bone. Eventually, all of the woven bone and cartilage of the original fracture callus is replaced by trabecular bone, restoring most of the bone's original strength. [citation needed]

  4. Fibrous protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_protein

    Such proteins serve protective and structural roles by forming connective tissue, tendons, bone matrices, and muscle fiber. Fibrous proteins consist of many families including keratin, collagen, elastin, fibrin or spidroin. Collagen is the most abundant of these proteins which exists in vertebrate connective tissue including tendon, cartilage ...

  5. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    Bone remodeling is a process which maintains bone strength and ion homeostasis by replacing discrete parts of old bone with newly synthesized packets of proteinaceous matrix. [5] Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts, and is deposited by osteoblasts in a process called ossification. [6] Osteocyte activity plays a key role in this process. Conditions ...

    Beta-glucan, a fiber found in cereals and oats, came out on top. A new study using a mouse model of obesity concludes that a type of fiber called beta-glucan induced more weight loss than other ...

  7. Osteoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoblast

    Osteoclasts break down bone tissue, and along with osteoblasts and osteocytes form the structural components of bone. In the hollow within bones are many other cell types of the bone marrow . Components that are essential for osteoblast bone formation include mesenchymal stem cells (osteoblast precursor) and blood vessels that supply oxygen and ...

    And no matter what you call it — it means the bone is in trouble. "So, there are lots of different types of breaks, but ultimately cracked, broken, fractured, snapped. You pick the term.

  9. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

    Oblique fibers (K) are the most numerous fibers in the periodontal ligament, running from cementum in an oblique direction to insert into bone coronally. These fibers resist vertical and intrusive forces. Apical fibers are found radiating from cementum around the apex of the root to the bone, forming base of the socket or alveolus.
