A histologist examines a tissue slide and observes many fibers tightly packed together in a parallel arrangement. a few cells can be seen squeezed between the fibers. which type of tissue is being studied?

Answer: Dense regular (fibrous) connective tissue.

Explanation:

Connective tissue is a tissue that performs various functions such as binding, connecting and supporting the other organs or tissues or separating one tissue from another. Dense regular connective tissue connects various tissues present in the body. Since the fibers are tightly packed, this tissue is dense and fibrous, and because the arrangement of the fibers is in parallel fashion, it is of the regular type.
