Tendons are composed of what tissue?
There are many types of connective tissues. They all have a matrix of extracellular material and they all have cells that excrete the matrix. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues, loose connective tissue tends to be found around organs. Blood and bone are also considered connective tissues.
What type of connective tissue attaches muscle and bone?
Dense connective tissue
What type of connective tissue prevents muscles from pulling away from the bones during contraction?
Dense connective tissue - it makes up the tendons.
Are tendons made up of dense irregular connective tissue?
Yes. An example is in the dermis, which is very vascular. Dense regular connective tissue is not, however (consists of tendons and ligaments). The other kind of CT that is not vascular is cartilage. Source: medical school lectures
What tissue makes up bones tendons and ligaments?
dense fibrous connective tissue
What structure in the body has dense fibrous connective tissue?
Both tendons and ligaments are made of dense connective tissue. Skin contains irregular dense connective tissue.
What type of Connective tissue is Tendons and ligaments are examples of?
Dense regular collagenous
What type of connective tissue that strengthens and supports areas subjected to stresses from many directions?
Dense irregular connective tissue
What does do connective tissue do?
Dense regular connective tissue is commonly referred to as fascia. It consists of mostly tendons and ligaments. The tendons attach muscle to bone and ligaments attach bone to bone.
What is the function of the dense connective tissue?
Dense connective tissue consists of many closely packed, thick, collagenousfibers and a fine network of elastic fibers.Collagenousfibers of dense connective tissue are very strong, enabling the tissue to withstand pulling forces. As parts of tendons and ligaments, dense connective tissue binds muscle to bone and bone to bone. This type of tissue is also in the protective white layer of the eyeball and in the deeper skin layers. The blood supply to dense connective tissue is poor, slowingtissue repair.The main function of dense connective tissue is to hold different structures to one another. For example, ligaments are the type of dense connective tissue that connect bones together.
What is made of dense regular connective tissue?
A structure composed of dense fibrous (regular) tissue is predominantly bundles of collagenous fibers and is flexible but possesses great tensile strength.
Do muscles attach to anything?
Muscles are attached to tendons ( a dense connective tissue) which are then attached to Bones. Muscles -> Tendons -> Bones
