Dense connective tissue consists of many closely packed, thick, collagenous
fibers and a fine network of elastic fibers.
Collagenous
fibers 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, slowing
tissue 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.

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 type of connective tissue prevents muscles from pulling away from the bones during contraction?
Dense connective tissue - it makes up the tendons.
What tissue composes the walls of large arteries?
dense connective tissue, elastic
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 is the main tissue in dermis?
dense connective tissue
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
