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.


Why is dense irregular connective tissue not the type found in tendons and ligaments?

Dense irregular connective tissue are not the type found in tendon and ligament because tendon and ligament type of connective tissue binds bones tightly to other bones in one direction and dense irregular connective tissue are not necessarily binding tissues..


What are the structural and functional differences between dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues?

loose connective tissue lacks the massive fibrous reinforcement that characterizes dense connective tissue. Nevertheless, the same types of fibers are still found, although fewer and more delicate. S.A

Describe where dense irregular connective tissue is found on the surface of a long bone?

Dense irregular connective tissue can be found in the periosteum, which is the outermost layer of the bone. It helps to protect the bone and provide support by anchoring tendons and ligaments to the bone surface.

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.


What two basic tissues of the skin are composed of dense irregular connective tissue?

The dermis and hypodermis are the two basic tissues of the skin that are composed of dense irregular connective tissue. The dermis is the middle layer of the skin, providing strength and elasticity, while the hypodermis is the deepest layer, containing fat cells and connecting the skin to underlying tissues.
