Collagen

Collagen is a protein that forms the main fibrillar structures of the intercellular substance of connective tissue - collagen fibers. Some connective tissue structures (for example, ligaments, fascia, plates, aponeuroses, tendons) are formed mainly by parallel collagen fibers that form bundles. Collagen is also present in skin, bones, cartilage and ligaments. It is relatively inelastic, but can stretch well.
