Question

describe dense regular connective tissue briefly​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Explanation:

In this type of tissue, the collagen fibres are densely packed, and arranged in parallel. This type of tissue is found in ligaments (which link bone to bone at joints) and tendons (connections between bones or cartilage and muscle).

Answer 2

Answer:

Dense connective tissue is often seen as the capsules enclosing organs and, in particular, tubular structures, but is most strikingly characterized in its appearance as tendons and ligaments. These are basically dense masses of collagenic fibers and fibroblasts arranged in an orderly manner, with the cells and fibers being oriented in the same direction (i.e. parallel to the long axis of the tendon). Primarily there is a predominance of fibroblasts, but these secrete increasing amounts of collagen and the bulk of the tendon becomes fibrous. Structures of this composition possess enormous tensile strength and are perfectly suited for connecting the skeletal muscles to the skeleton and so transmitting power. Immature dense connective tissue contains capillaries, but as the fibroblasts mature to become fibrocytes and stop producing intercellular substances, the need for nutriments in quantity is much reduced and the capillary blood supply largely disappears.
