Introduction
Cells don’t exist alone.
Cells interact with extracellular material to form defined tissues.
These interactions are crucial to the formation of epithelial tissue and connective tissue, which are crucial for various cellular activities.

the human body.Provide high tensile strength.Each collagen is restricted to particular
locations in the body.All collagens are a trimer of polypeptide
chains (α chains) and 3 polypeptide chains are wound around each other.

Major types of collagenType I collagen
The chief component of tendons, ligaments, and bones.
Type II collagen
Represents more than 50% of the protein in cartilage and is the major component of the vitreous body of the eye.
It is also used to build the notochord of vertebrate embryos.

Interactions of Cells with Extracellular Materials (cont.)
Focal adhesions are found at the cell membrane where the cytoskeleton interacts with proteins of the extracellular matrix
Focal adhesions – scattered, discrete sites for cell adhesion to their substratum in vitro.They may act as a type of sensory
structure.Are also implicated in cell locomotion.
![Page 39: Interactions Between Cells and Their Environment](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081512/555081abb4c9051e5b8b46ce/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The clustering of integrins at these sites attracts a large complex of proteins and initiates intracellular regulatory processes, by which such events as cell migration and anchorage-dependent differentiation are controlled.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a protein tyrosine kinase which is recruited at an early stage to focal adhesions and which mediates many of the downstream responses.
