Question

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 loose and not for high - stress situations like ligaments.
• Adipose tissue is for fat storage, not stress - bearing.
• Dense regular connective tissue has parallel collagen fibers which are good for withstanding stress (like in ligaments that connect bones).
• Dense irregular connective tissue has fibers in various directions and is more for areas like the dermis of the skin rather than ligaments.

Answer:

C. dense regular
