Dense Irregular Connective Tissue Information

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

Substances formed

This tissue comprises a large portion of the dermis.[1] This type of tissue is also in the protective white layer of the eyeball and in the deeper skin layers.

It also makes up submucosa, fibrous capsules, and some types of fascia.[2] Other examples include periosteum and perichondrium.

Composition

It consists primarily of collagenous fibers.[3]
