The fiber type that gives connective tissue great tensile strength is ____
|
|
Elastisc
|
|
|
Collagen
|
|
|
Reticular
|
|
|
muscular
|
Explanation:
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: -Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen found in connective tissues including skin, tendon, and bone tissue. It is the major component and the primary determinant of tensile strength of the ECM.
Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen III-found mainly in reticular fibres ( fine fibrous connective tissue occurring in networks to make up the supporting tissue of many organs).
