What is a similarity between dense connective and loose connective tissue?
In the following table, describe the types of cells and the extracellular matrix fibers that are present in each type of dense connective tissue.
Type of dense connective tissue Types of cells Extracellular matrix fibers
Dense regular
connective tissue
Dense irregular
connective tissue
Dense regular connective tissue forms tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, and fascia. Dense irregular connective tissue forms the reticular dermis, digestive tract submucosa, and organ and joint capsules. How does the arrangement of fibers in dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue determine the capacity for each tissue to withstand tension?

A single layer of epithelial cells is described as simple epithelia. The lining of the skin is composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue. Because of its highly vascular network of capillaries, epithelial tissue provides the nutrients for the underlying connective tissues. Simple columnar epithelial cells are found lining the stomach.
