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. The collagen fibers are densely packed together and arranged in parallel to each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The correct option: Tendons and ligaments are made of (a) dense connective tissue. Tendons connect the skeletal muscle to the bones and the ligaments connect the bones to the bones. This is why these joining structure needs to be strong enough to hold the two structure together.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tendons consist of collagen (mostly type I collagen) and elastin embedded in a proteoglycan-water matrix with collagen accounting for 65-80% and elastin approximately 1-2% of the dry mass of the tendon.
