CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This type of connective tissue fibre is inelastic but flexible.
A
Elastic fibres
B
Collagen fibres
C
Yellow fibres
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These fibers are inelastic, but have great tensile strength. Thus they can be bent without breaking. While the fibers themselves do not stretch, their lattice-like arrangement can allow tissues containing the fibers to stretch to some extent.

Detailed explanation-2: -We found that collagen matrices exhibit deformation rate-dependent behaviour, which leads to a transition from pronounced elastic behaviour at fast deformations to substantially inelastic behaviour at slow deformations (1 m min−1, similar to cell-mediated deformation).

Detailed explanation-3: -Dense connective tissues Dense connective tissue contains more collagen fibers than loose connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The collagen and elastic fibers of connective tissue proper are histologically distinguishable as three fiber types: collagen, reticular, and elastic fibers. Specialized connective tissue includes a variety of distinct tissues with specialized cells and unique ground substances that result in wide-ranging properties.
