Dense regular connective tissue
- Dense regular connective tissue
-
Dense regular connective tissue provides connection between different tissues. The collagen fibers in dense regular connective tissue are bundled in a parallel fashion.
Structures formed
- An example of their use is in tendons.[1] Tendons, which connect muscle to bone, derive their strength from the regular, longitudinal arrangement of bundles of elastic fibers.
- Ligaments bind bone to bone and are similar in structure to tendons.
