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.
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.
Which connective tissues are branched?
Dense irregular connective tissue and cardiac muscle tissue are examples of branched connective tissues. The branching of the fibers in these tissues provides strength and support for various organs and structures in the body.
Which structure is the site of attachment for tendons?
Bones are the primary site of attachment for tendons. Tendons are tough, fibrous connective tissues that connect muscle to bone, helping to facilitate movement and transmit forces. They attach to the periosteum, a dense connective tissue layer that covers bones.
What is the predominant element in dense connective tissues?
The predominant element in dense connective tissues is collagen fibers, which provide strength and support to the tissue. These fibers are densely packed together, giving the tissue its characteristic toughness and resilience.
What are Dense fibrous tissues that connect muscle to bone?
Tendons are dense fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones. Tendons are tough, cord-like structures that help bones move.

What are the 3 major groups of connective tissue?
Epithelial, muscle, and nervous. Disagree- the 3 subgroups are: loose, dense, and connective tissue with special properties. Subgroups within dense are: dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are interwoven in disordered fashion, and dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are in parallel bundles. Subgroups in the special properties connective tissue are named to indicate the identifying feature, such as mucous connective tissue, elastic connective tissue or reticular connective tissue.
Where is dense connective tissue found on a long bone?
The diaphysis is covered and protected by a fibrous connective tissue membrane, the periosteum.
What tissue makes up bones tendons and ligaments?
dense fibrous connective tissue
What is the name of the dense fibrous connective tissue that provides the outer coating of bones?
Periosteum
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.
Fibroblasts and protein fibers are associated with both?
Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues
What structure in the body has dense fibrous connective tissue?
Tendons and ligaments are structures in the body that consist of dense fibrous connective tissue. Tendons connect muscle to bone, while ligaments connect bone to bone, providing strength and stability to joints.
What type of tissues are found in the dermis?
Dense irregular connective tissue
What are the types of dense connective tissues?
a. loose connective tissue 1. aerolalar connective tissue 2.adipose tissue 3.retigular connective tissue b. Dense connective tissue 1.dense irregular connective tissue 2.dense regular connective tissue 3.elastic connective tissue
