Chapter 4, Problem 2CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of deficiency of Vitamin C (scurvy) on bone tissue, dense regular collagenous connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, and cartilage. Collagen requires Vitamin C for its synthesis. The symptoms expected from scurvy.
Introduction:
Collagen is one of the types of protein fibers. It is a major protein in the human body. It is made up of fibrous protein, and is resistant to tension and pressure. This protein is responsible for smoothness of skin. It is found in bones, tendons, cartilage, and in extracellular tissue.
