Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of Connective Tissue are TENDONS and LIGAMENTS
A
Fibrous Connective Tissue
B
Stratified Connective tissue
C
Areolar Tissue
D
Cartilage
Explanation: 

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 serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

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.
