NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Connective Tissue Fibers and Ground Substance Collagen fibers, while flexible, have great tensile strength, resist stretching, and give ligaments and tendons their characteristic resilience and strength.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrocartilage:-Highly compressible with great tensile strength.-Consist of roughly parallel rows of chondrocytes alternating with thick collagen fibers.-Location: occurs in sites that are subjected to both pressure and stretch, such as the padlike cartilages of the knew and the discs between vertebrae.
