Detailed explanation-1: -Collagen fibers are composed of tropocollagen subunits whose -chain amino acid sequences permit the classification of collagen into at least 30 different fiber types. The capability of the ECM to withstand compressive forces is due to the presence of the hydrated matrix formed by GAGs and proteoglycans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elastic fibers are made of the protein elastin; this fiber can stretch to one and one half of its length, returning to its original size and shape. Elastic fibers provide flexibility to the tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chondrocytes are mainly responsible for the production of collagen and the extracellular matrix that will lead to the maintenance of cartilaginous tissues within joints.
