NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

Dense regular connective tissue: This type of tissue provides a strong connection between different tissues. In dense regular connective tissue, the collagen fibres are bundled in a parallel fashion. They are lined up in parallel, like the strands of a rope. Tendons that connect muscle to bone is basically a collagenous tissue and ligaments which bind the bone to another bone to derive their strength from the regular, longitudinal arrangement of bundles of fibres. The strongest tendon of the body is the tendo calcaneus tendon which connects the calcaneum bone of ankle with the gastrocnemius muscle of shank. Patella bone is formed by the ossification of tendon and is called a sesamoid bone.
