Dense connective tissue This tissue has a large number of fibres. They may be irregularly arranged, as in the dermis, or in sheaths around tendons and nerves, or more regularly organised in the tendons, which link muscles to bones, and in ligaments which connect bone to bone. [Pg.9]

Cancellous bone is less dense. It consists of thin plates and bars of bone (trabeculae) adjacent to small, irregular cavities (bone marrow) containing a connective tissue from... [Pg.132]

Joints are usually divided into three classifications by composition fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints. Fibrous joints (synarthroses) are connected by dense fibrous tissue. Their motions are greatly limited. Commonly, they are found in the skull. The cranial articular surfaces are irregular, yet they form specific suture match and interlock. They are joined together by fibrous tissue, which is very firm and practically fills the joint space. This type of articulation allows greater motion in infants, with gradual reduced motility with aging. [Pg.29]
