Which tissue is reinforced by white fibers only?

Myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.


When do the fibers typical of a connective tissue matrix appear in blood?

Fibers typical of a connective tissue matrix, such as collagen and elastic fibers, are not normally found in blood. Blood primarily consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Fibers typically found in connective tissue are found in tissues like tendons, ligaments, and the extracellular matrix of organs.


What are the colors of your nervous system?

Nervous tissue does not have a specific color as it is made up of cells, fibers, and blood vessels. However, nerve tissue can appear white due to the myelin sheath that surrounds certain nerve fibers.


Is blood forming tissue only found in myeloid tissue?

Not all, some white blood cells come from lymphoid tissue, especially T-lymphocytes. Plasma proteins in the blood are made in the liver tissue not the myeloid tissue


A group of myelinated fiber may form a region of nerve tissue called?

A group of myelinated fibers may form a region of nerve tissue called a white matter tract. White matter in the central nervous system consists of myelinated nerve fibers that transmit information between different parts of the brain and spinal cord.


Which type of cell is NOT found in areolar tissue?

The cell type that is not found in the areolar connective tissue is chondrocytes. The three main components of connective tissue are ground substance, fibers, and cells.


White fibrous tissue?

sinew, aka fascia, or tendons or ligaments, depending on what the tissue is doing -- they are all connective tissue, functioning to hold together various bits of flesh. The fibers are composed primarily of collagen (chain of amino acids, better known as proteins).


What is the name for stored fat?

The name for stored fat in the body is adipose tissue. This tissue serves as a form of energy reserve, insulation, and protection for internal organs. Adipose tissue can be classified into two main types: white adipose tissue, which stores energy, and brown adipose tissue, which generates heat.


Difference between dense regular connective tissue and dense irregular connective tissue?

Dense regular has dark-staining collagen fibers that run parallel to each other. It provides connections between bone-to-bone and muscle-to-bone, and it is strong and can stand great tensile stress. Dense regular can be found in ligaments and tendons (i.e. white fibrous tissue). Dense irregular is not dark-staining, and the collagen fibers aren't parallel. The structure of the fibers allows support from many directions. Dense irregular is found in the dermis of the skin. In general, a 'regular' issue means that its fibers run in the same direction, while a 'irregular' tissue's fibers run in all directions.


What is known as fibrous tissue?

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


Are tendons white?

clear whitish because of lack of blood vessels


What is the function of the dense connective tissue?

Dense connective tissue provides strength and support to various structures in the body. It is composed of densely packed collagen fibers that help resist tension and stretching forces, making it ideal for forming tendons, ligaments, and the dermis of the skin.
