NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Loose connective tissue works to hold organs in place and is made up of extracellular matrix and collagenous, elastic and reticular fibers. Dense connective tissue is what makes up tendons and ligaments and consist of a higher density of collagen fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dense connective tissue contains more collagen fibers than loose connective tissue. Dense regular connective tissue (Figure 4) has fibers arranged in neatly organized, parallel bundles. It has both collagen and elastic fibers, which provide great tensile strength and elasticity in one direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Loose CT (or areolar tissue) is the most widespread CT of the body. It is characterized by an abundance of ground substance, plus thin and relatively few fibres and cells (Fig. 1.7).

Detailed explanation-4: -A type of tissue that is mostly made up of tough protein fibers called collagen and cells called fibroblasts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Loose connective tissue, also known as areolar tissue, is a cellular connective tissue with thin and relatively sparse collagen fibers. Its ground substance occupies more volume than the fibers do.
