Dense regular collagenous connective tissue
Other Terms: Typus regularis (Textus connectivus collagenosus compactus), Dense fibrous connective tissue, Dense regular connective tissue, Dense regular collagenous connective tissue

Dense regular collagenous connective tissue consists of densely packed collagen fibers that are arranged in parallel to one another. This arrangement creates a tissue that is very strong at resisting tensile forces in one direction. This tissue is common to the tendons of muscles and many of the ligaments of the body.
