Study Notes
Connective Tissue Types
- Dense connective tissue contains more collagen fibers than loose connective tissue.
- Dense regular connective tissue fibers are arranged in parallel bundles, providing tensile strength and resistance to stretching in one direction.
- Dense irregular connective tissue has randomly arranged fibers for greater strength in all directions.
- Cartilage has a distinctive appearance due to its abundant collagen fibers.
- Chondrocytes are the embedded cells within the cartilage matrix.
