loose connective tissue lacks the massive fibrous reinforcement that characterizes dense connective tissue. Nevertheless, the same types of fibers are still found, although fewer and more delicate.

What is smooth dense irregular connective tissue that is continuous with the outer coat of the ureter?

The smooth dense irregular connective tissue that is continuous with the outer coat of the ureter is known as the adventitia. It provides structural support and anchors the vessel in place, allowing for movement and flexibility.


What type of connective tissue that strengthens and supports areas subjected to stresses from many directions?

Dense irregular connective tissue is the type of connective tissue that strengthens and supports areas subjected to stresses from many directions. It contains collagen fibers arranged in a random network, providing strength and resistance to tension in multiple directions. It is commonly found in the dermis of the skin and the capsules of organs to provide structural support.


Draw a flow chart showing the various types of connective tissue?

I'm unable to draw a flow chart in text format. Connective tissue includes loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue (regular and irregular), specialized connective tissue (cartilage, bone, blood), and adipose tissue. Each type has specific functions and characteristics, forming the structural framework of organs and supporting various body structures.


What are the 3 major groups of connective tissue?

Epithelial, muscle, and nervous. Disagree- the 3 subgroups are: loose, dense, and connective tissue with special properties. Subgroups within dense are: dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are interwoven in disordered fashion, and dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are in parallel bundles. Subgroups in the special properties connective tissue are named to indicate the identifying feature, such as mucous connective tissue, elastic connective tissue or reticular connective tissue.


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

What are the 3 shape of connective tissue?

The three main shapes of connective tissue are irregular (random), regular (parallel), and reticular (mesh-like). These shapes allow connective tissue to provide structural support, flexibility, and protection throughout the body.
