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.

Dense connective tissue made of collagen fibers?

Dense connective tissue is composed of tightly packed collagen fibers that provide strength and support to the tissue. This type of tissue is found in structures like tendons and ligaments, where resilience and resistance to tensile forces are required.

The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?

Fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.


Is tissue a collagen?

Tissue is a general term referring to a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body. Collagen is a type of protein that is the main component of connective tissues in the body. So, tissue can contain collagen as one of its components.

Does loose connective tissue contain chondrocytes?

No, loose connective tissue does not contain chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in cartilage tissue, not in loose connective tissue. Loose connective tissue primarily consists of collagen and elastin fibers, along with various cells such as fibroblasts and macrophages.


In connective tissue the main extracellular material for resisting tension is?

The main extracellular material in connective tissue for resisting tension is collagen. Collagen fibers provide strength and support to connective tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and the dermis of the skin.


What strong fibers give connective tissue strength?

Collagen


Are Bundles of collagen often found in loose connective tissue?

Yes, bundles of collagen are often found in loose connective tissue, providing structure and support. Collagen fibers are arranged in a loose and irregular fashion in this type of tissue, allowing for flexibility and elasticity.


Does areolar connective tissue contain collagen fibers?

Yes, areolar connective tissue contains collagen fibers, along with elastic and reticular fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength and structure to the tissue, contributing to its elasticity and flexibility.
