A

to bind and support other tissue

26
Q

What does Dense Regular connective tissue do ?

forms parallel bundles of collagen fibers , forms strong rope like structures

27
Q

What does dense irregular connective tissue do ?

A

Cushions joints , makes up lower layers of skin

28
Q

Q

What is fibrocartilage ?

A

though inflexible cartilage, found in between the knee and between vertebrae
