Dense connective tissue

Solid connective tissue , also called solid fibrous tissue , is a type of connective tissue with fibers as the main matrix element. The fibers mainly consist of type I collagen. Crowded among collagen fibers is a line of fibroblasts, the fiber-forming cells, which produce fibers. Dense connective tissue forms strong structures such as ropes such as tendons and ligaments. The tendon attaches skeletal muscle to the bone; ligaments connect bone to bone in joints. Ligaments are more elastic and contain more elastic fibers than tendons. Solid connective tissue also forms the undercoat of the skin (dermis), where it is arranged in sheets.
