It then treats the wall as having zero tensile strength and assumes that the resistance comes entirety from two gravity-based resistance components: elastic rigid block rocking, and inelastic friction, with the total load resistance of the wall taken as the sum of these individual components.
As integral ECM components, elastic fibers enable elastic recoil and resilience in all elastic tissues such as arteries, lung, skin and cartilage.
Additional slides were stained for various tissue components (elastic fibers, ground substance, muscle, collagen, and fibrinoid and fibrin) using a Movat pentachrome stain.
Compression bandaging systems are all designed to improve venous return but vary by construction (knitted, woven), components (elastic, non-elastic), performance (long-stretch, short-stretch) and layers (single-layer, multiple-layer) [ 12].
Little evidence is seen of the amorphous component of elastic fibers, which in normal, mature elastic tissue can constitute up to 90percentt of the fiber content [ 9].
Lysozymes have also been shown to bind and prevent the proteolytic degradation of the elastin component of elastic fibers in the basal lamina, indicating that lysozyme interaction can protect elastic fibers at the sites of injury [30].
MAGP-1 has been reported as a critical component of elastic fiber, and it plays an important role in maintaining the structure of elastic tissue.
Specifically, they found that one particular DNA sequence variation linked with the pregnancy-related stretch marks was located closely to the elastin gene; elastin is "the major component of elastic fibers, which provide reversible extensibility to connective tissue," the researchers wrote in the study.
This phenomenon was attributed to the contraction of elastin, the main protein component of elastic tissues, at high temperatures.
Additionally, elastin is the main structural component of elastic fibres which form a network within the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc.
