Detailed explanation-1: -The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a band of dense connective tissue which courses from the femur to the tibia. The ACL is a key structure in the knee joint, as it resists anterior tibial translation and rotational loads.
Detailed explanation-2: -This type of connective tissue is found mostly in the reticular layer (or deep layer) of the dermis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main part of the anterior cruciate ligament consists of type I collagen-positive dense connective tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dense collagen connective tissue can be found in tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses and have a great deal of tensile strength along the direction of the protein fibers. This strength allows dense regular connective tissues to stabilize surrounding structures and maintain the structural framework in the body.
