Animal Tissue — Important Questions

Cells are compactly arranged, Little intercellular matrix, Cells rest on basement membrane, Good capacity of regeneration

Epithelial tissue is characterized by compactly arranged cells with little intercellular matrix, cells resting on basement membrane, and good regeneration capacity. It is avascular (not highly vascular).

Connective tissue

Connective tissue is the most widely spread tissue in the body as it binds, supports, and provides strength to other body tissues and organs.

Collagen

White fibres in areolar tissue are made up of collagen protein, which gives tensile strength to the tissue.

Tendons

Tendons are dense regular connective tissue that connect skeletal muscles to bones and contain bundles of white fibres for tensile strength.
