Solution:
Dense regular connective tissues are those in which collagen fibres are present in rows between many parallel bundles of fibres. It is of two kinds:white fibrous connective tissue (mainly consists of white collagen fibres) and yellow elastic connective tissue. Tendons are white fibrous cords which connect the skeletal muscles with the bones. muscle cells and blood cells)most cells are communication with their adjoining cells via gap junctions. At the place where gap junction is present, membranes of two adjacent cells are separated by a uniform narrow gap of about 2-4 nm. The gap is spanned by channel forming proteins called connexons, which permits inorganic ions, and other small water soluble molecules to pass directly from cytoplasm of one cell to cytoplasm of other cell.
