ligaments connect bones together and withstand a lot of stress. what type of connective tissue should you expect ligaments to contain?
a areolar
b adipose
c dense regular
d dense irregular

Explanation:

• Areolar connective tissue is a loose connective tissue that provides support and elasticity. It is not the main tissue in ligaments.
• Adipose tissue is fat - storing tissue and has no role in withstanding stress in ligaments.
• Dense regular connective tissue has collagen fibers arranged in parallel bundles. This structure gives it high tensile strength, which is suitable for ligaments that need to withstand stress while connecting bones.
• Dense irregular connective tissue has collagen fibers arranged in a more random pattern. It is found in areas like the dermis of the skin, not in ligaments.

Answer:

C. dense regular
