Collagenous fibers can be found extensively in?

Collagenous fibers can be found extensively in connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin. They provide strength and support to these tissues by forming a dense network that helps resist tensile forces.


Skeletal muscles are held to the bones with the help of?

What are the similarities and the differences between ligament and tendon?

Which connective tissue is membranous and holds your skin to your muscles?

There is no connective tissue that holds muscles to the skin. That would be dysfunctional because you would have very limited motion. There is, however, connective tissue between the muscles and the skin, but they are loose and do not bind one to the other. The tissue between the skin and the muscles is called superficial fasia.


What is the dominant fiber type in dense connctive tissue?

The dominant fiber type in dense connective tissue is collagen fibers. These fibers provide strength and support to the tissue, making it tough and resistant to mechanical stress.


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 is the effect of having very little connective tissue?

It really depends on what specific connective tissue you are talking about. Examples of connective tissues are skin, blood, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Based on the deficiency, serious problems or possibly death will occur.


What organs are made of connective tissue?

Some organs that are made of connective tissue include the skin, tendons, ligaments, and the dermis layer of the skin. Connective tissue provides structure and support to these organs, as well as flexibility and protection.
