Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure and function of a tendon: Tendons are tough, fibrous connective tissues that connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement and force transmission.

Review the types of tissues listed in the options: Dense regular connective tissue, skeletal muscle tissue, simple squamous epithelium, and hyaline cartilage. Each has distinct characteristics and functions.

Focus on dense regular connective tissue: This tissue is composed of tightly packed collagen fibers arranged in parallel, providing strength and resistance to tension in one direction, which is ideal for tendons.

Eliminate incorrect options: Skeletal muscle tissue is responsible for contraction and movement, not connecting muscles to bones. Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells found in areas like blood vessels and alveoli, not tendons. Hyaline cartilage provides support and flexibility in structures like the nose and trachea, not tendons.

Conclude that the correct answer is dense regular connective tissue, as it matches the structural and functional requirements of tendons.
