GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ligaments, tendons, the inner layer of the skin, and the sclera (the white outer layer of the eye) are all types of dense connective tissue. Also called fibrous connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dense connective tissue is often further divided into two main categories; dense irregular connective tissue and dense regular connective tissue. Dense regular connective tissue comprises structures such as ligaments and tendons, whilst dense irregular tissue is more widely distributed throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Loose connective tissue holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. Dense connective tissue helps attach muscles to bones and link bones together at joints. Specialized connective tissue encompasses a number of different tissues with specialized cells and unique ground substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dense, regular CT is a white, flexible tissue that contains tightly packed bundles of collagen fibres. All of these fibres run in one direction and are arranged parallel to the direction of forces exerted on the particular body part where the tissue is located.
