What type of connective tissue appears glassy and smooth?
Hyaline cartilage tissue (also referred to as hyaline connective tissue or hyaline tissue) is a type of a cartilage tissue. It is the most common type of cartilage characterized by a glossy and smooth appearance.
What type of connective tissue is firm matrix heavily invaded with fibers appears glassy and smooth?

What has a hard matrix due to calcium salts provides levers for muscles to act on?
What tyoe of tissue attaches bones to bones and muscles to bones? This has a matrix hard owing to calcium salts; provides levers for muscles to act on. Osseos Tissue. This tissue insulates against heat loss.
What connective tissue matrix is hard?
Bone is the hardest connective tissue. It provides protection to internal organs and supports the body. Bone’s rigid extracellular matrix contains mostly collagen fibers embedded in a mineralized ground substance containing hydroxyapatite, a form of calcium phosphate.
What connective tissue has structurally amorphous matrix?
tissue-study
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Forms the embryonic skeleton and the surfaces of bones at the joints; reinforces the trachea | Hyaline cartilage |
| Provides insulation for the body | Adipose connective tissue |
| Structurally amorphous matrix, heavily invaded with fibers; appears glassy and smooth | Hyaline Cartilage |
Which connective tissue has a jelly like matrix?
Cartilage
Cartilage. Cartilage is a specialized form of connective tissue produced by differentiated fibroblast-like cells called chondrocytes. It is characterized by a prominent extracellular matrix consisting of various proportions of connective tissue fibers embedded in a gel-like matrix.

How are they structurally different describe how the unique structure of a neuron relates to its function in the body?
While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique. Specialized projections called axons allow neurons to transmit electrical and chemical signals to other cells. Neurons can also receive these signals via rootlike extensions known as dendrites.
Which of the following have translucent matrix?
Hyaline cartilage has a clear, homogenous, translucent, bluish green matrix. It often contains a good number of very fine collagen fibres, which are difficult to observe. This cartilage is flexible, elastic and compressible.
What purpose if any do fibers like collagen and elastin provide in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues?
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) The elastin of skin and blood cells provides resiliency, collagen provides strength to tendons, and the calcified collagen matrix of bone provides strength and incompressibility.

Which connective tissue has solid matrix?
Important Connective Tissue Proper: has a semisolid jelly like matrix. Cartilage has solid matrix and is avascular. Bone has solid matrix but has is vascular (has blood supply). Blood has fluid matrix called plasma.
