fibrocartilage
They are fibrous dense connective tissue.
Collagen is the most common component of tendons and ligaments.
Connective tissue.
Dense regular collagenous
Fibrous connective tissue and they are comprised mainly of collagen. They are also similar in composition to fasciae which connect muscle to muscle.

What organ system does the tendons belong to?
Connective tissue does not belong to any one system, rather, it refers to one of the four types of tissue that make up nearly every organ in the human body. For example, the connective tissue found in ligaments and tendons are a part of the musculoskeletal system, but connective tissue also surrounds the stomach, anchoring the epidermal tissue of the stomach lining to the body.
What tissue connects bones to bones?
The tissue that connects bone to bone are called ligaments. They are responsible for providing stability to a joint. Cartilage, and ligaments make up the "connective tissue". And also Tendons (sinew), Auductive and Conductive Muscles and a decent argument for Joint Cartillage.
What kinds of cells make up connective tissue?
Blood Cells: 1) Fibroblasts = produce fibers 2) Macrophage = they are phagocytic 3) Adipose = fat cells 4) Mast cells = histamines 5) White blood cells = fight infection 6) Mesenchymal cells = undifferentiated embryonic cells
What tissue that moves or stabilize the position of the skeleton?
Skeletal muscle tissue moves the skeleton. This type of tissue is the most abundant tissue found in the human body. But it is attached by a connective tissue called tendon.
How are ligaments and cartilage functionally similar in joints?
No, tendons are not the same as ligaments. Unfortunately, I was absent a long time ago when my class learned about that. So here is something:People often talk about tendons and ligaments as if they are the same thing, but these two types of soft tissue actually perform different functions for the body.A tendon connects muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach to the skeletal muscles that move your bones. Tendons essentially enable one to move since they act as intermediaries between the muscles creating the motion of the bones.I'd say the most famous tendon is the Achilles tendon (named after the character Brad Pitt played in the movie Troy) which connects the muscles of your calf to your heel. Also, if you watch the tops of your hands while you type, you can see your tendons at work. Pretty cool, huh?So what's a ligament? If you want to know then read moreLigaments are similar to tendons, but they connect bone to bone and help to stabilize joints. They are composed mostly of long, stringy collagen fibers creating short bands of tough fibrous connective tissue.Ligaments are slightly elastic, so they can be stretched to gradually lengthen increasing flexibility. Athletes and dancers stretch their ligaments to make their joints more supple, and to prevent injury.Here's a cool fact: The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments.You might have heard of some of the ligaments found in the knee since they often tear, especially the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) when skiing. In fact four ligaments connect the tibia (shin bone) to the femur (thigh bone) to provide structure for the knee.
When connective tissue extends as a broad flat layer the tendon is referred to as?
I think that you are referring to an aponeurosis, but your question doesn't really make grammatical sense.

What organelles are in connective tissue?
The organelles are found in connective tissue are the nucleus, cytoplasm, Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles work together to make collagen and connective tissue.

What does connective tissue remind you of?
Connective tissue is one of the four classes of tissue in the body (along with nerve, muscle and epithelial tissue). The basic function of connective tissue is to connect and bind other tissues together. Connective tissue differs from the other tissues by the presence of non-cellular material forming a 'ground substance' or 'matrix' which surrounds the cells of the tissue. Usually the cells make up only a small percentage of the volume of the tissue. The ground substance usually contains a variety of protein fibres, the most important of which is collagen, the most abundant protein in the body. The ground substance itself consists of water, salts and proteoglycans, which are proteins linked to polysaccharides.
