Multiple ChoiceImagine you're a doctor, and a middle-aged patient comes to you with a medical condition that is causing their collagen fibers to become weak. What affect would this have on the sutures in their skull?
A
Sutures are made of short collagen fibers, so their sutures would loosen and become fragile.
B
There is never fibrous connective tissue in sutures so it wouldn't have an effect.
C
At this patient's age their sutures will have ossified; therefore, this condition won't affect their sutures.
