Question

a) identify the type of connective tissue seen here. b) give 2 relevant points of identification. histology slide showing pink and white area of tissue that has a compact arrangement. areolar tissue: loosely arranged fibers with spaces in between dense regular c.t: collagen fibers seen. fibers run in parallel bundles adipose tissue: empty cells with peripheral nuclei dense irregular c.t: collagen fibers seen. fibers run in haphazardly

Explanation:

A) The tissue shows collagen fibers running in parallel bundles which is characteristic of dense regular connective - tissue.
B) 1. Presence of collagen fibers: Collagen fibers are the main component seen in the slide. 2. Parallel arrangement: The fibers are arranged in parallel bundles which is a key feature of dense regular connective tissue.

Answer:

A. Dense regular C.T: collagen fibers seen. fibers run in parallel bundles
B. 1. Presence of collagen fibers

1. Parallel - arranged fibers
