GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Connective Tissue Fibers and Ground Substance Collagen fiber is made from fibrous protein subunits linked together to form a long and straight fiber. Collagen fibers, while flexible, have great tensile strength, resist stretching, and give ligaments and tendons their characteristic resilience and strength.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collagen: Collagen fibers are the strongest and most abundant of all the connective tissue fibers. Collagen fibers are fibrous proteins and are secreted into the extracellular space and they provide high tensile strength to the matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrocartilage. This is a blend of hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue. Because it is compressible and resists tension well, fibrocartilage is found where strong support and the ability to withstand heavy pressure are required.

Detailed explanation-4: -The osteocytes are embedded in a dense network of collagen fibers, and this network has high tensile strength. This allows it to withstand lateral stress without breaking because it can absorb the force before reaching the bone cells. Osteoblasts form a bone matrix, which is the spongy material inside bones.
