What bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue?

There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.


What kind of connective tissue comprises the intervertebral discs between vertebrae?

The intervertebral discs are made of fibrocartilage, which is a type of connective tissue that has a combination of fibrous and cartilaginous components. This fibrocartilage structure allows the discs to provide cushioning and support between the vertebrae in the spine.


Who produce the fibers and ground substances that form the matrix of fibrous connective tissue?

Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for producing the fibers and ground substances that form the matrix of fibrous connective tissue. They synthesize collagen, elastin, and other components that provide strength and support to the tissue.


On the basis of structural classification which joint is fibrous connective tissue?

A fibrous joint is a structural classification where bones are joined by fibrous connective tissue. Examples of fibrous joints include sutures in the skull and syndesmoses in the distal tibiofibular joint.


Is collagen and connective tissue the same?

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.
