Detailed explanation-1: -Dense regular connective tissue is a form of dense connective tissue characterized by the large, dense, and robust collagen fibers that are arranged in a parallel fashion. It makes it suitable for binding body parts together. It has great tensile strength resisting pulling forces, particularly from a single direction.
Detailed explanation-2: -The extracellular matrix helps cells attach to, and communicate with, nearby cells, and plays an important role in cell growth, cell movement, and other cell functions. The extracellular matrix is also involved in repairing damaged tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrocartilage. This is a blend of hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue. Because it is compressible and resists tension well, fibrocartilage is found where strong support and the ability to withstand heavy pressure are required.
Detailed explanation-4: -Basic components of connective tissues and extracellular matrix: elastin, fibrillin, fibulins, fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin, tenascins and thrombospondins.
