Detailed explanation-1: -The bacterial ECM is mostly studied as a biofilm building material. Nevertheless, the ECM compounds may serve several alternative functions. The ECM can protect free-living cells, prevent biofilm formation, serve as signals, promote migration or genetic exchange, or serve as ion reservoirs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The extracellular matrix helps cells attach to, and communicate with, nearby cells, and plays an important role in cell growth, cell movement, and other cell functions. The extracellular matrix is also involved in repairing damaged tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -The extracellular matrix of connective tissue is composed of fibers and ground substance. In ordinary connective tissue, the principal fiber type is collagen (the most abundant protein in the body), with elastic fibers as a minor element; ground substance consists mainly of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -The connective tissue underlying an epithelium. This tissue contains a variety of cells and extracellular matrix components. The predominant cell type is the fibroblast, which secretes abundant extracellular matrix.
