dense irregular connective tissue

It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue.

In the skin and mucous membranes, it is more compact and sometimes difficult to distinguish from dense irregular connective tissue.

It is made of dense irregular connective tissue and usually contains multiple nerve fascicles as well as blood vessels which supply the nerve.

It is often divided into "Dense regular connective tissue" and "Dense irregular connective tissue".

The other is the reticular layer which is the deep layer of the dermis and consists of the dense irregular connective tissue.

The mesothelium forms a monolayer of flattened squamous-like epithelial cells resting on a thin basement membrane supported by dense irregular connective tissue.

Dense irregular connective tissue has fibers that are not arranged in parallel bundles as in dense regular connective tissue.

Histologically, tendons consist of dense regular connective tissue fascicles encased in dense irregular connective tissue sheaths.

Perichondrium surrounds the cartilage of developing bone; it has a layer of dense irregular connective tissue and functions in the growth and repair of cartilage.

It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, and receives its name from the dense concentration of collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers that weave throughout it.

The reticular dermis is the lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely packed collagen fibers.

Connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue (which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues.)

"Ligament" most commonly refers to a band of tough, fibrous dense regular connective tissue bundles, comprising attenuated collagenous fibers; with said bundles protected by dense irregular connective tissue sheaths.

The dermis is the middle layer of skin, composed of dense irregular connective tissue and areolar connective tissue such as collagen with elastin arranged in a diffusely bundled and woven pattern.

In the gastrointestinal tract, the submucosa is the layer of dense irregular connective tissue or loose connective tissue that supports the mucosa, as well as joins the mucosa to the bulk of overlying smooth muscle (fibers running circularly within layer of longitudinal muscle).
