Question

Strong, dense inextensible connective tissue with parallel collagen fibers that connect a muscle with bone is

• A. Elastic tissue
• B. Yellow tissue
• C. Ligament
• D. Tendon

Answer 1

The correct option is D Tendon

Tendons are formed by thick bundles of collagen fibres running parallel to each other. Hence they are called dense regular connective tissue. The fibrocytes are arranged in neat rows . The parallel arrangement is such that it runs along the lines of stress. They are strong but not very flexible. Tendons join the skeletal muscles to the bones.

So, the correct answer is 'Tendon'.
