What type of connective tissue attaches muscle and bone?
Dense connective tissue
Hardest and most solid type of connective tissue?
Bone is the most rigid and dense of the connective tissues.
Which type of tissue forms bones tendons and ligaments?
Bone is made of compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue and also nerve cells from the spinal column.
Describe where dense irregular connective tissue is found on the surface of a long bone?
in the cartilage of the long bone. cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the epiphysis.
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.
Where is dense connective tissue found on the surface of the long bone?
cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the long bone.
Where is dense connective tissue found on a long bone?
The diaphysis is covered and protected by a fibrous connective tissue membrane, the periosteum.
Are ligaments a connective tissue?
No the tendons are part of the connective tissue
What type of tissue is more widely spread around the body?
epithelial tissue is most widely distributed in the body
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.
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 tissue that forms ligaments that attach muscle to bone?
Connective tissue....
