EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. The extracellular matrix of connective tissue is composed of ground substance and fibers. In ordinary connective tissue, the ground substanc e consists mainly of water. The principal fiber type is collagen (the most abundant protein in the body), with elastic fibers as a minor element.The extracellular materials which comprise the matrix are produced by fibroblasts.he extracellular fibers of connective tissue are traditionally classified into three types: 1  Collagen fibers confer main tensile strength, and are the stuff of scars. 2  Elastic fibers confer elasticity. 3  Reticular fibers (really, a special form of collagen) provide a delicate supporting framework for loose cells.
(Science: pathology) connective tissue dominated by extracellular matrix containing collagen type II and large amounts of proteoglycan, particularly chondroitin sulphate. cartilage is more flexible and compressible than bone and often serves as an early skeletal framework, becoming mineralised as the animal ages.Cartilage is produced by chondrocytes that come to lie in small lacunae surrounded by the matrix they have secreted.Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page.This page was last modified on 3 October 2005, at 21:16.This page has been accessed 17,927 times.What links here | Related changes | Permanent link.lease contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page.
