Connective tissue proper classification overview

Dense connective tissue is further subdivided into irregular and regular categories, based the arrangement of the collagen fibers. In dense irregular connective tissue (left) fibers are multidirectional and interlaced. In dense regular connective tissue (right) fibers are arranged in a highly ordered, parallel manner. Dense irregular is present throughout the body while dense regular is highly restricted, forming tendons and ligaments. In both irregular and regular, the cells are almost exclusively fibroblasts. 400x, 400x
