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.
Sheets of dense connective tissue cover muscles, separate neighbouring muscles and also serve to give attachment to muscle fibres. The largest single mass of dense connective tissue is seen as the dermis (specifically, the reticular dermis) of the skin. In some animals the dermis is thick enough to be processed as leather. In larger sheets, collagen fibres run in all directions to give strength against multidirectional forces.
