Study Notes
Tissue Functions
- Connective tissue is primarily responsible for binding tissues together structurally.
Extracellular Matrix
- Collagen protein fibers provide strength and flexibility to the extracellular matrix.
- Fibronectin, a glycoprotein, helps connect the extracellular matrix components to cells by binding with integrins in plasma membranes.
Embryonic Development
- The endoderm primary germ layer gives rise to the epithelial lining of the digestive tract.
Tissue Involvement
- Mesenchymal tissue is primarily involved in the process of cell movement during gastrulation.
Extracellular Matrix Functions
- The extracellular matrix allows local communication within a tissue.
