MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dense connective tissue proper is composed of a higher density of fibers, which may be regular (with parallel fibers such as that of tendons and ligaments) or irregular (with multidirectional fibers such as that of the pericardium), or elastic (with significant embedded elastin such as that of arteries).

Detailed explanation-2: -A tendon is composed of dense fibrous connective tissue made up primarily of collagenous fibres. Primary collagen fibres, which consist of bunches of collagen fibrils, are the basic units of a tendon.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
