Dense Connective Tissue: Irregular Connective Tissue Description: Same structural elements as regular, except bundles of collagen fibers are much thicker and arranged irregularly which allows for tension in many directions. Location: Capsules of visceral organs. Periostea and perichondria. Nerve and muscles sheaths. Dermis. Functions: Provides strength to resist forces applied from MANY directions.
The main collagens found in connective tissue are Types I, II, and III; these collagens form fibers that give tensile strength to tissues. Tendons, ligaments, skin, and bone have mostly Type I collagen, and cartilage has mostly Type II collagen.Tendons and ligaments also contain proteoglycans, elastin, and fibroblast cells. The collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans form the extracellular matrix.ome of the fibers in tendons and ligaments also run transverse to the parallel bundles, forming cross-links that add strength to the structure. The collagen in cartilage is arranged in a mesh with a large amount of gel-like substance between the collagen fibers, making the structure of cartilage more like a sponge.
