Fibrous protein
Collagenous fibers are the tough fibers of connective tissue.
Abundant collagenous and elastic fibers are found in the dermis. They are responsible for the strength and elasticity of the skin.
1. Connective Tissue Proper- Extracellular fibers and a syrupy ground substances2. Fluid Connective Tissue- Watery matrix3. Supporting Connective Tissue- Densely packed fibers, the matrix consists of calcium salts
In forming whole muscles, individual muscle fibers are arranged in bundles, or fascicles, held together by fibrous connective tissue.Answer is Fascicles.
Dense fibrous connective tissue
Fibrous connective tissue which is the type of tissue that makes up the tendons and ligaments in your body. This connective tissue is comprised of mainly collagenous and elastic fibers.
The combining form "fasci/o" means "fibrous muscle cover, fascia." The fascia is the soft connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles. thanks to northstarlearning.com for the CMA review
Technically they are the same. Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.
Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen fibers.
