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.
If the matrix consist mainly of collagen, it provides great tensile strength and can withstand tremendous pull in the direction that the fibers run without stretching. This type of dense regular connective tissue is found in the tendon, which connects muscles to bones or cartilage (Tendon 1). Between bundles of eosinophilic collagen, fibroblasts are readily observed (Tendon 2). Ligaments connect bones to bones in the movable joints. Since bony tissue has no flexibility, the connective tissue must provide it and therefore elastic fibers are now found in the matrix; collagen is also present to provide tensile strength (Ligament 1).
