Question

Connective tissue that must resist forces pulling it from many different directions without stretching would most likely be ________.A) areolar connective tissue.B) dense irregular connective tissue.C) dense regular connective tissue.D) reticular connective tissues.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Dense irregular connective tissue

Explanation:

Irregularly oriented collagen fibers make the dense irregular connective tissue. Along with collagen fibers, these tissues also have a few fibroblasts. These tissues are present in the form of sheets and serve to provide the tensile strength in multiple directions. Due to the ability of dense irregular connective tissue to provide the pulling strength, they are found in the form of fasciae beneath the skin and around muscles and other organs. These tissues are also present in the fibrous pericardium of heart, heart valves, periosteum of bone, etc.
