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.


Which one of the four major types of membranes consists of fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue?

The synovial membrane consists of fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue. It lines joint cavities and produces synovial fluid to lubricate and cushion the joint surfaces.


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.


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.
