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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tendons and ligaments are strong, rope-like structures formed by dense connective tissue. Tendons link skeletal muscles to bones, whereas ligaments connect bones at joints.

Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen fibers are the primary source of strength in connective tissues throughout the body, particularly musculoskeletal tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and menisci.

Detailed explanation-4: -Collagen fibers, while flexible, have great tensile strength, resist stretching, and give ligaments and tendons their characteristic resilience and strength. These fibers hold connective tissues together, even during the movement of the body.
