These collagen fibers are the framework for the osteoblasts' work.

这些胶原纤维为成骨细胞的工作构建了框架。

But what if those collagen fibers aren't all stacked regularly in rows?

但是，如果这些胶原纤维不是有规律地成行堆叠呢？

Finally, there are reticular fibers — short, finer collagen fibers with an extra coating of glycoprotein.

最后是网状纤维——更短更细的胶原纤维带有一层额外的糖蛋白涂层。

They're made of crisscrossing layers of minerals and collagen-- fibers made of protein that strengthen bone the way steel rods reinforce concrete.

它们是由矿物质和胶原蛋白构成的交错网层，而胶原蛋白是一种蛋白质纤维，它能像钢筋强化混凝土一样强化骨质。

The needles punch through the epidermis, allowing ink to seep deep into the dermis, which is composed of collagen fibers, nerves, glands, blood vessels and more.

针刺透表皮让颜料深入真皮，真皮之下是胶原纤维、神经、腺体、血管等等。

Like most gels, it’s mostly water, which is mixed with collagen fibers and a kind of sugar called hyaluronic acid.

像大多数凝胶一样，它主要是水，混合了胶原纤维和一种叫做透明质酸的糖。

Now these free-floating platelets don't clump together during regular circulation — that would be terrible — but when the endothelial cells lining a blood vessel wall tear, the underlying collagen fibers are suddenly exposed.

这些自由漂浮的血小板在正常的血液循环中不会凝结在一起——那太可怕了——但是当血管壁内皮细胞撕裂时，其底层的胶原纤维突然暴露出来。

On the other hand, you can't easily rip a tendon or ligament in two, or even chew it, because it's made of that dense regular tissue, full of tight bundles of collagen fibers all running parallel.

另一方面，你不能轻易地将肌腱或韧带撕成两半，甚至不能咀嚼它，因为它是由致密的规则组织组成的，充满了紧密的胶原纤维束，它们都平行运行。

Its living skin is anchored by connective tissue that's full of collagen fibers. But if you roast that chicken, and break apart that collagen, suddenly the skin just peels right off with no effort at all.

活着的时候它的皮肤是由结缔组织固定的，它充满胶原纤维，但是如果你把鸡烤熟了，然后分解胶原蛋白，突然间皮肤就很容易被剥落了。

The basal side, or inner surface, is tightly attached to the basement membrane, a thin layer of mostly collagen fibers that helps hold the epithelium together, and anchors it to the next-deeper layer — your connective tissue.

基底侧或内表面紧密地附着在基底膜上，这是一层薄薄的胶原纤维，有助于将上皮保持在一起，并将其固定在下一层更深的结缔组织上。
