Dense regular connective tissue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Dense regular connective tissue provides connection between different tissues. The collagen fibers in dense regular connective tissue are bundled in a parallel fashion.

[edit] 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.
