The Prime Meridian is the line of all the points on earth whose longitude is zero.

It joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, a suburb of

London, England.

It runs straight north-south, and also passes through Spain, France, and several

countries in Africa.

Difference between dense regular connective tissue and dense irregular connective tissue?

Dense regular has dark-staining collagen fibers that run parallel to each other. It provides connections between bone-to-bone and muscle-to-bone, and it is strong and can stand great tensile stress. Dense regular can be found in ligaments and tendons (i.e. white fibrous tissue). Dense irregular is not dark-staining, and the collagen fibers aren't parallel. The structure of the fibers allows support from many directions. Dense irregular is found in the dermis of the skin. In general, a 'regular' issue means that its fibers run in the same direction, while a 'irregular' tissue's fibers run in all directions.
