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.


Does Dense fibrous connective tissue have space between its components?

No, dense fibrous connective tissue does not have space between its components. It consists of tightly packed collagen fibers with very little ground substance. This arrangement gives the tissue its strength and resistance to tension.


What type of tissue are bones ligaments and tendons made of?

Bones are made of osseous tissue, ligaments are made of fibrous connective tissue, and tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue.


What is fascia and capsular tissue are most similar to?

Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, while capsular tissue refers to the fibrous covering around joints. They are both dense connective tissues that provide structure and support to the body.


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.

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.

How do loose and connective tissue differ?

Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen fibers.


Are tendons and ligaments composed mainly of dense irregular connective tissues?

Adipose tissue is designed to store fat, the answer you're looking for fibrous connective tissue.


What layer of the epidermis contains protein fibres?

No, there is not dense connective tissue in the epidermis. There is loose connective tissue right below the epidermis (areolar connective tissue).
