Regular Dense CT seems to be a majority ____
A
Collagen Fibers
B
Reticular Fibers
C
Elastic Fibers
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dense regular connective tissue is mainly made up of type I collagen fibers. It is found in areas of the body where large amounts of tensile strength are required, like in ligaments, tendons and aponeurosis. The collagen fibers are densely packed together and arranged in parallel to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dominant fibers type in dense connective tissue is Collagen fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dense connective tissue is what makes up tendons and ligaments and consist of a higher density of collagen fibers. Examples of specialized connective tissues are adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, and lymph.

Detailed explanation-5: -Collagen fibers are arranged in dense regular connective tissue because: These fibers are found in several rows between various parallel bundles of fibers. This arrangement of fibers provides good resistance and also gives the ability to stretch. This arrangement provides good tensile strength to the tissue.
