|
Irregular Dense Connective Tissue |
Type of connective tissue where the fibers are in a variety of directions found in organ stroma, muscle epimisium or fascia, and the dermis of skin |
|
|
Regular Dense Connective Tissue |
Type of connective tissue with fibers densely packed in the same direction, found in tendons and ligaments often elastic or collagenous |

|
|
White fat function |
Energy storage where carbohydrates are turned into fat, secondary sex characteristics, insulation, and structural padding/ shock absorber |
