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: -Bone, or osseous tissue, is a connective tissue that has a large amount of two different types of matrix material. The organic matrix is materially similar to other connective tissues, including some amount of collagen and elastic fibers. This gives strength and flexibility to the tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compact bone makes up the outer layer of the bone. Spongy bone is found mostly at the ends of bones and contains red marrow. Bone marrow is found in the center of most bones and has many blood vessels. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bone tissue is a mineralized connective tissue because it posses all the properties of connective tissue. 1. It connects various body parts with each other. 2. Forms packing around various body organs so called as packing tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bone surfaces are covered by specialized connective tissues. The periosteum covers external surfaces of most bones and is divided into two distinct layers-an outer fibrous and inner cellular layer (Figure 2F).
