Fibrous tissue is
often spoken of as a white fibrous tissue because it is composed mainly of
white collagen fiber arranged in definite lines. This arrangement gives great
strength and fibrous tissue is found where resistance is required. Between the
definite bundles of white fibers some areolar tissue lies, which contains the
nerves, lymphatics, and blood vessels supplying the structure.
Fibrous tissue is
tough and strong. It forms ligaments except the elastic ones and tendons. The
dura matter lining the skull and the natural canal, the periosteum covering
bone the strongest layers of fascia separating muscular aheaths, the fibrous
layer of the pericardium, and the sclerotic coat of the eye are example of the
fibrous tissue.
