Choose the correct statement(s) about collagens in connective tissue. Choose the correct answer. a. Type III collagen is good at resisting tensile stress and Type I collagen is good at establishing a scaffold for the whole of the particular connective tissue. b. Type III collagen is large and Type I collagen is small in diameter, relative to each other. c. Type I collagen is good at resisting tensile stress and Type III collagen is good at establishing a scaffold for the whole of the particular connective tissue. d. Type I collagen is small and Type III collagen is large in diameter, relative to each other.

Type I collagen is found in large amounts in both tendon and the dermal region of skin. In which tissue would you expect collagen fibers to show more order? Explain your answer.

Is found in ligaments and tendons, is almost entirely collagen with bundles arranged in parallel. Covers the articulating ends of bone, most abundant type of connective tissue. Contains little elastin, resists stretching in all directions, creates sheaths around muscles and nerves. Contains a random orientation of relaxed fibers and can tolerate ~200% strain. Contains a parallel orientation of taught fibers and can only tolerate approximately 10% strain. Contains little collagen and a lot of elastin, is elastic in all directions, found in the trachea and bronchial tubes. Contains parallel elastin fibers, "stretch ligaments". Multi-layered structure with high collagen content. Serves as force attenuators, increases surface area in joints, provides stability.
