Question

Name the connective tissue that looks like strands of wavy hair that contains parallel collagen fibers and few elastic fibers

Answer 1

Answer:

Dense Regular Connective Tissue

Explanation:

Dense regular connective tissue make up ligaments and tendons. They are made up of collagen fibers that are tightly or densely packed, parallel to each other, giving off a "wavy-hair" look. They are more resistant to stretching (although it allows some) because they are made up of more collagen fibers than loose connective tissue.

Look at the picture attached if you want to see what they look like up close.
