dense connective tissue

Desmoplasia refers to growth of dense connective tissue or stroma.

But it cannot be watched lightly, without the dense connective tissue that holds Kafka's novel together.

Bone tissue is a type of dense connective tissue.

Dense connective tissue also make up the lower layers of the skin (dermis), where it is arranged in sheets.

A sheath of dense connective tissue, the epineurium surrounds the nerve.

Tendon is a dense connective tissue that attaches the muscle to bone, or to other muscles.

Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue, consisting mainly of collagen.

Dense connective tissue forms strong, rope-like structures such as tendons and ligaments.

There is no true innominate bone, which is replaced by a sheet of dense connective tissue.

Dense connective tissue, also called dense fibrous tissue, has fibers as its main matrix element.

It consists of dense connective tissue filled with the protein collagen to both protect the inner components of the eye and maintain its shape.

The bones of the roof of the skull are initially separated by regions of dense connective tissue called "fontanels".

Its mucous membrane is covered with transitional epithelium, and an underlying lamina propria of loose to dense connective tissue.

The lobes are separated by dense connective tissues that support the glands and attach them to the tissues on the underlying pectoral muscles.

The tarsi (tarsal plates) are two comparatively thick, elongated plates of dense connective tissue, about 2.5 cm.

The flukes (lobes of the tail) and dorsal fin are formed of dense connective tissue and do not contain bones or muscle.

The frontal suture is a dense connective tissue structure that divides the two halves of the frontal bone of the skull in infants and children.

A capsule of dense connective tissue contains some smooth muscle as well as skeletal muscle of the bulbocavernous and urethral muscles.

The cardiac skeleton consists of four dense bands of dense connective tissue that encircle the bases of the pulmonary trunk, aorta, and heart valves.

The gland has a capsule of its own of dense connective tissue but is also provided with a false capsule by investing layer of deep cervical fascia.

Dense connective tissue is mainly composed of collagen type I. Crowded between the collagen fibers are rows of fibroblasts, fiber-forming cells, that manufacture the fibers.

The cardiac skeleton, sometimes called the fibrous skeleton of the heart, is the structure of dense connective tissue in the heart that separates the atria from the ventricles.

It is made up of dense connective tissue, a loose connective tissue which acts to protect the heart, anchoring it to the surrounding walls, and preventing it from overfilling with blood.

Connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue (which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues.)

The adult breast contains 14-18 irregular lactiferous lobes that converge to the nipple, to ducts 2.0-4.5 mm in diameter; the milk ducts (lactiferous ducts) are immediately surrounded with dense connective tissue that functions as a support framework.
