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: -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-3: -A tendon consists of: Endotenon: Connective tissue that surrounds the primary, secondary and tertiary fiber bundles. Helps the bundles glide against each other inside the tendon. Epitenon: Thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds the entire tendon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ligaments are made out of connective tissue that has a lot of strong collagen fibers in it. They are found in different shapes and sizes in the body.
