Question

A histologist examines a tissue slide and observes many fibers tightly packed together in a parallel arrangement. a few cells can be seen squeezed between the fibers. which type of tissue is being studied?

Answer 1

Answer: Dense regular (fibrous) connective tissue.

Explanation:

• Connective tissue is a tissue that performs various functions such as binding, connecting and supporting the other organs or tissues or separating one tissue from another.
• Dense regular connective tissue connects various tissues present in the body.
• Since the fibers are tightly packed, this tissue is dense and fibrous, and because the arrangement of the fibers is in parallel fashion, it is of the regular type.
