Connective tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues. Connective tissue has three main components: cells, fibers, and ground substance. Together the ground substance and fibers make up the extracellular matrix.

Fibrocartilage should be accounted as a transitional tissue between hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments [17]. ... In contrast to hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage contains high levels of type I collagen in addition to type II and only a small component of ground substance.

Answer 92. Loose CT has lots of cells and ground substance and not a lot of fibers. Dense connective tissue has few cells and ground substance with lots of fibers.

Dense connective tissue, also called dense fibrous tissue, is a type of connective tissue with fibers as its main matrix element. The fibers are mainly composed of type I collagen. ... Dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments.

Elastic connective tissue is a modified dense connective tissue that contains numerous elastic fibers in addition to collagen fibers, which allows the tissue to return to its original length after stretching Figure 4.10).

Ligaments and tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue. In dense irregular connective tissue, the direction of fibers is random. This arrangement gives the tissue greater strength in all directions and less strength in one particular direction. In some tissues, fibers crisscross and form a mesh.

Fibrous joints contain fibrous connective tissue and cannot move; fibrous joints include sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Cartilaginous joints contain cartilage and allow very little movement; there are two types of cartilaginous joints: synchondroses and symphyses.
