MT 30 LAB – H 3 years, 10 months ago Connective Tissue supports, protects and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. In the illustration below, we have three (3) examples of connective tissues:
1. Dense Regular Connective Tissue, particularly tendon have collagen fibers that are firmly packed and organized in parallel in these tissues. Ligaments and as depicted in the illustration below, tendons, are examples of this sort of tissue.
2. Decalcified Bone, which is a Dense Fibrous Tissues, is one of the forms of connective tissue also known as dense fibrous tissue due to the relative abundance of the collagen fibers. In comparison to loose connective tissue, it also includes fewer cells and less ground material.
3. Elastic cartilage, which is a structural cartilaginous tissue, has a perichondrium, which is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds cartilage that is independent of a joint.References:
