What is a strong tissue that contracts?
Dense connective tissue such as tendons, which are very fibrose and very difficult to sever normally. Other tissues that are capable of contracting are smooth muscular and skeletal muscular, though the latter is stronger. Dense connective tissue does not contract. Muscle tissue does.
What type of tissue is areolar?
Areolar tissue is a type of connective tissue.
What are the similarities and the differences between ligament and tendon?
They both are made of the same tissue called connective tissue which is very strong. They have different names because of where the are and what they do. Tendons connect muscles to bones and ligaments connect bones to bones.
What type of tissues have a matrix?
the connective tissure has the greatest amount of intercellular matrix. Bone has very few cells, large amounts of intercellular matrix.Bone is in the Connective Tissue categorie.
What type of tissue would likely be composed of cells that contain many mitochondria?
Cells that do a lot of work or activity such as muscle cells.
Collagenous fibers can be found extensively in?
Tendons of muscles and ligaments are made out of dense regular collagenous connective tissue. This type of connective tissue is very strong in one direction.
What is a strong tissue that contracts?
Dense connective tissue such as tendons, which are very fibrose and very difficult to sever normally. Other tissues that are capable of contracting are smooth muscular and skeletal muscular, though the latter is stronger. Dense connective tissue does not contract. Muscle tissue does.
What strong connective tissue that connects bones to bones?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. The very same tissue attaches bone to bones and they are called ligaments.
What strong connective tissue that attaches muscles to bone is an?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. The very same tissue attaches bone to bones and they are called ligaments.
Skeletal muscles are held to the bones with the help of?
Fascia, a connective tissue that is very strong and wraps all the muscle cells.
What type of tissue is areolar?
Areolar tissue is a type of connective tissue.
Are ligaments a connective tissue?
No the tendons are part of the connective tissue

Which connective tissue is membranous and holds your skin to your muscles?
There is no connective tissue that holds muscles to the skin. That would be dysfunctional because you would have very limited motion. There is, however, connective tissue between the muscles and the skin, but they are loose and do not bind one to the other. The tissue between the skin and the muscles is called superficial fasia.
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 the effect of having very little connective tissue?
It really depends on what specific connective tissue you are talking about. Examples of connective tissues are skin, blood, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Based on the deficiency, serious problems or possibly death will occur.
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
