dense irregular connective tissue is found in the dermis of the skin
Dense irregular connective tissue This type connective tissue is found mostly in reticular layer (or deep layer) of the dermis[3] This type of tissue is also in the Sclera and in the deeper skin layers. Due to high portions of collagenous fibers, dense irregular connective tissue provides strength, making the skin resistant to tearing as consequence of stretching forces from different directions.[4]
Subcutaneous tissue The hypodermis is beneath dermis which is beneath epidermis. It is used mainly for fat storage.
Dermis The dermis is composed of three major types of cells:[3] fibroblasts, macrophages, and adipocytes.
Connective tissue The cells of connective tissue include fibroblasts, adipocytes, macrophages, mast cells and leucocytes.
