GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Tendons, which attach skeletal muscles to bones and ligaments which attach one bone to another are examples of dense regular connective tissues in which collagen fibres are present in rows between many parallel bundles of fibres.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dense regular connective tissue This arrangement allows the fibers to have a good resistance to forces pulling along a single axis, but also gives some ability to stretch. Tendons and ligaments attach to bones, and the role of dense regular connective tissue is to transfer forces to bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tendons and ligaments are mainly composed of type I collagen fibers surrounded by a mesh of loose connective tissue. The whole tendon transmits forces from muscle to bone. However, it also shows viscoelastic behavior such as creep or stress relaxation. Tendons respond dynamically to physical activity.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of dense regular connective tissue: dense collagen connective tissue and dense elastin connective tissue. In both types, protein fibers are densely packed and run parallel to one another.
