MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Connective tissue in tendons and ligaments are examples of dense regular connective tissue. Other examples include the perichondrium around the tracheal cartilage and the tunica albuginea around the testis. The dense regular connective tissue occurs in two forms: white or yellow fibrous connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tendon and ligament are dense, fibrous connective tissues that connect muscle and bone or bone and bone and transmit the mechanical forces that stabilize the skeleton and allow for body movement (10, 11).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
