Select the statement about collagen that is INCORRECT. Cells can attach to a collagen matrix by using fibronectin Fibroblasts organise the collagen of the extracellular matrix by processing procollagen into collagen Collagen is synthesised as procollagen and secreted to the outside of the cell in a secretory vesicle The terminal procollagen domains are cleaved by a protease in the extracellular space

Which of the following statements about the skin is FALSE? The epidermis is made up of epithelial tissue whereas the dermis is made up primarily of connective tissue. The basal lamina is a specialized form of extracellular matrix upon which epithelial tissue sits. Fibroblasts are one type of cell found within the dermis that helps produce the extracellular matrix.
