Dense Regular Tissue: Fibers run parallel Predominately collagen fibers Cells are fibroblast Have poor blood supply Makes up tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses (fascia) Slow to heal Resists tension in one direction
Collagenous fibers Fibroblast Dense regular connective tissue in tendon
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue Fibroblasts are predominant cell type Collagen fibers run in all directions Resists tension in all directions Not as strong as Dense Regular Found in skin, organ capsules, periosteum, perichondrium
Connective Tissue Types • Areolar connective tissue • Most widely distributed connective tissue • Soft, pliable tissue • Contains all fiber types • Can soak up excess fluid
Areolar Tissue Elastic fiber Collagenous fiber
