Question

The tissue depicted in the following diagram is:

• A. Cartilage present in the ends of long bones
• B. Dense regular connective present in the tendons
• C. Dense irregular connective tissue present in the skin
• D. Loose connective tissue found in the capsule of abdominal organs

Answer 1

The correct option is C Dense irregular connective tissue present in the skin


Fibres and fibroblasts are compactly packed in the dense connective tissues. So the tissue depicted in the following diagram is dense irregular connective tissue. Dense irregular connective tissue has fibroblasts and many fibres (mostly collagen) that are oriented differently. This tissue is present in the skin. It is the layer of skin underneath the epidermis, called the dermis. It contains collagen fibres and fibroblasts.
