Question

White fibrous tissue is
A.Nerve
B.Muscle
C.Ligament
D.Tendon

Answer 1

Hint: White fibrous tissue has a silvery-white colour/appearance and is the dense regular connective tissue that is physically tough, but pliable. It consists of fibroblasts interspersed between several fibres of collagen that are often oriented in the same direction, creating a structure that is mechanically solid.

Complete answer:
In areas of the body where tension from all directions occurs, such as the dermis of the skin, irregularly organized fibrous connective tissues are found. In tendons (which bind muscles to bones) and ligaments, the normal fibrous connective tissue is found (which connect bones to bones). A tendon is a durable band of connective fibrous tissue that normally connects bone to muscle and can withstand stress. Tendons are identical to fasciae and ligaments, all three of which are composed of collagen. One bone joins another bone with ligaments; fasciae link muscles to other muscles. In order to move bones, tendons and muscles work together.

A connection between various tissues in the human body is given by dense normal connective tissue. The collagen fibres are packaged in a parallel fashion in thick normal connective tissue. Dense normal connective tissue (DRCT) is classified into white connective fibrous tissue and yellow connective fibrous tissue, all of which come in two forms: the arrangement of the cord and arrangement of the sheath.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)

Note: In the cord structure, bundles of collagen and matrix are distributed in typical alternative patterns. Bundles of collagen and matrix, often in the form of a network, are distributed in irregular patterns in the sheath arrangement.
