Question

Tendon is made up of
A. Yellow fibrous connective tissue
B. Adipose tissue
C. Modified white fibrous tissue
D. Areolar tissue

Answer 1

Hint:A fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone is called a tendon. It is a band of dense fibrous connective tissue that is attached to the bone. The important role of tendons is to help in the movement by transmitting the contraction force produced by muscles to the bone. Tendons are viscoelastic structures that mean they are both viscous and elastic in nature. Achilles tendon also is known as the calcaneal tendon is an example of a tendon.

Complete answer:1. There are three types of fibrous connective tissue.
2. Ligament, tendon, and sclera are the three types of fibrous connective tissue
3. Yellow fibrous connective tissue connects bone to bone and not bone to muscle. Hence option A is wrong.
4. A specialized connective tissue that is found beneath the skin and stores energy in the form of fat is known as adipose tissues and the tendons are not made up of adipose tissues. Hence option B is also wrong.
5. Any tissues which are closely woven small fibers adhering together as bundles in animals and plants are known as modified fibrous tissue. Tendons are made up of modified fibrous tissue.
6. The areolar tissues are found surrounding the blood vessels, nerve bundles, muscles, and organs. So option D is also wrong.
Hence option C is correct.

Note:Tendon is also known as sinew. It has been considered as a tough band of fibrous connective and it is capable of withstanding tension. It has been similar to ligaments.
