Specialized connective tissues include cartilage, bone and adipose tissue. Connective tissues supply support, strength, structure, and nutrient storage to the body, and provide a conducting medium for the movement of cells and nutrients. 展开
- Cells: Various types of cells that perform specific functions. - Protein Fibres: These provide strength and elasticity to the tissue. - Amorphous Ground Substance: A gel-like material that fills the spaces between cells and fibres. 2. Extracellular Matrix: - The combination of protein fibres ...
Collagen fibers provide strength to the tissue, preventing it from being torn or separated from the surrounding tissues. Elastic fibers are made of the protein elastin; this fiber can stretch to one and one half of its length and return to its original size and shape. Elastic fibers provide ...
- The main function of collenchyma is to provide mechanical support and flexibility to young stems and leaves. - These cells are living tissues and do not have intercellular spaces. 5. Sclerenchyma: - Sclerenchyma consists of long, elongated cells that are dead at maturity. - Their cell walls...

Extracellular matrix is a vast network of proteins and biomolecules that provide structural support to cells and tissues in the body. It is also an important component for cell-to-cell communication and differentiation Mechanobiology Mechanobiology is a multidisciplinary field that is focused on how the...
the Adult Immune Tissue Atlas provided the characterisation of mature immune cells in circulation and specialised to tissue microenvironments, such as tissue-resident macrophages and memory T cells. Together, both datasets provide an annotated resource that represents a complete diversity map of human im...
In the previous sections, we learned that analyzing photoacoustic signals in the acoustic dimension can provide valuable insights into microstructures. To further quantify this information, we propose using photoacoustic power azimuth spectrum and time-frequency spectrum, taking into account the angular anis...
