Question

How are collagen fibers arranged in dense regular connective tissue?

Answer 1

Collagen fibers:

1. These are structural elements found in the tissues of vertebrates.
2. It helps in transmitting forces, store and dissipating energy.
3. These fibers limit the deformation of load-bearing tissues like tendons.

Collagen fibers are arranged in dense regular connective tissue because:

1. These fibers are found in several rows between various parallel bundles of fibers.
2. This arrangement of fibers provides good resistance and also gives the ability to stretch.
3. This arrangement provides good tensile strength to the tissue.
