Detailed explanation-1: -Bone. Bone is the hardest connective tissue. It provides protection to internal organs and supports the body. Bone’s rigid extracellular matrix contains mostly collagen fibers embedded in a mineralized ground substance containing hydroxyapatite, a form of calcium phosphate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The matrix in connective tissues gives the tissue its density. When a connective tissue has a high concentration of cells or fibers, it has proportionally a less dense matrix. The organic portion or protein fibers found in connective tissues are either collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
