Study Notes

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Location: Forms ligaments, tendons, and aponeuroses.
Function: Resists pulling forces at attachment points, providing strength and stability.

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue

Location: Found primarily in the skin.
Function: Resists pulling forces from various directions, preventing tearing of the skin when stretched.

Dense Elastic Connective Tissue

Location: Found in lungs, trachea, bronchi, aorta, and other elastic arteries.
Function: Allows respiratory organs to recoil after inhalation, assisting in pushing blood through the cardiovascular system.

Areolar Connective Tissue

Location: Located under the skin, surrounding blood vessels, nerve bundles, muscles, and organs.
Function: Connects skin to underlying muscles and protects/connects blood vessels, nerves, and muscles, providing structural support.
