Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Dense irregular fibrous connective tissue is characterized by ____
A
predominance of the ground substance over fibres
B
presence of clusters of adipocytes
C
predominance of collagen fibres that are arranged parallel to one another in a very orderly manner
D
predominance of collagen fibres that interlace in various directions
E
presence of multinucleate mass of protoplasm which is not subdivided into individual cellular compartment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dense irregular connective tissue has collagen fibers randomly interwoven, forming a three-dimensional network resistant to distension in all directions. It is usually located in the capsules and walls of the organs, the dermis of the skin and glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dense connective tissue, also known as dense fibrous tissue, is a form of connective tissue that is mostly composed of fibers. The fibers are mostly made up of type I collagen. Rows of fibroblasts, fiber-forming cells that make the fibers, are crammed between the collagen strands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dense irregular connective tissue consists of mostly collagen fibers. It has less ground substance than loose connective tissue. Fibroblasts are the predominant cell type, scattered sparsely across the tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Irregular connective tissue is an irregular connective tissue, the intercellular matrix of which contains a dense irregular network of collagen and elastic fiber bundles.

Detailed explanation-5: -A type of tissue that is mostly made up of tough protein fibers called collagen and cells called fibroblasts. Dense connective tissue supports, protects, and holds bones, muscles, and other tissues and organs in place.
