Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dense irregular connective tissue is able to withstand stretching in any direction due to its randomly arranged collagen fibers. Fibroblasts are also present within this tissue. Loose connective tissue is not typically as durable, and dense regular connective tissue is arranged in parallel, preventing stretching in certain directions. Cartilage and bone are not considered connective tissue in the same sense as the options presented.
