Cells and Tissues

The smallest, basic, and structural component of the body is a cell. It is the basic functional unit of life. No organism can exist on this Earth without a cell. Thus, it is the fundamental unit. These cells perform the major functions of the body. The t…

Students have asked these similar questions

During a microscopy exercise in the anatomy laboratory,a student makes the following observations about a tissuesection: (1) The section contains some different types ofscattered protein fibers—that is, they exhibit differentwidths, some are branched, some are long and unbranched,and their staining characteristics differ (some are seenonly with specific stains). (2) Several cell types withdifferent morphologies are scattered throughout the section,but these cells are not grouped tightly together. (3) Theexamined section has some “open spaces”—that is, placesbetween cells and the observed fibers in the section thatappear clear with no recognizable features. What type oftissue is the student observing? Where might this tissue befound in the body?

What are the three major types of protein fibers in the extracellular matrix? Describe briefly.
