4-White Collagenous • Very dense type of C.T.form collagenous fibers • -seperated from each other by areolar C.T. • Arrangement of the collagenous bundles • White fibrous C.T.may be regular or irregular • Fibroblast===tendon cells • The fibroblast are triangular in shape with basophilic cytoplasm cell&their nuclei are oval in shape
Type of white collagenous C.T • . • 1-regular white collagenous C.T. regular collagenous bundles present cornea,eye,tendons of muscle • 2-Irregular white collagenous:irregular collagenous bundles
Present: • 1-sclera • 2-capsule • 3-dura mater • 4-perichondrium,periosteum • 5-Reticular C.T. • From the stroma or background of glands
