  2. Cardiac skeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_skeleton

    The heart's cardiac skeleton comprises four dense connective tissue rings that encircle the mitral and tricuspid atrioventricular (AV) canals and extend to the origins of the pulmonary trunk and aorta. This provides crucial support and structure to the heart while also serving to electrically isolate the atria from the ventricles. [1]

  3. Dense irregular connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_irregular_connective...

    This type of connective tissue is found mostly in the reticular layer (or deep layer) of the dermis. [3] It is also in the sclera and in the deeper skin layers. Due to high portions of collagenous fibers, dense irregular connective tissue provides strength, making the skin resistant to tearing by stretching forces from different directions.

  4. Perichondrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perichondrium

    The perichondrium (from Greek περί, peri, 'around' and χόνδρος, chondros, 'cartilage') is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the cartilage of developing bone. It consists of two separate layers: an outer fibrous layer and inner chondrogenic layer.

  5. Mesothelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelium

    The mesothelium forms a monolayer of flattened squamous-like epithelial cells resting on a thin basement membrane supported by dense irregular connective tissue. Cuboidal mesothelial cells may be found at areas of injury, the milky spots of the omentum, and the peritoneal side of the diaphragm overlaying the lymphatic lacunae.

  6. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    Dense connective tissue also known as fibrous tissue [8] is subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue. [9] Dense regular connective tissue, found in structures such as tendons and ligaments, is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion, giving it tensile strength in one direction. Dense ...

  7. Stroma (tissue) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma_(tissue)

    Stroma (from Ancient Greek στρῶμα 'layer, bed, bed covering') is the part of a tissue or organ with a structural or connective role. It is made up of all the parts without specific functions of the organ - for example, connective tissue, blood vessels, ducts, etc.

  8. Perimysium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimysium

    Perimysium is a sheath of dense irregular connective tissue that groups muscle fibers into bundles (anywhere between 10 and 100 or more) or fascicles.. Studies of muscle physiology suggest that the perimysium plays a role in transmitting lateral contractile movements.

  9. Fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrosis

    Fibrosis, also known as fibrotic scarring, is a pathological wound healing in which connective tissue replaces normal parenchymal tissue to the extent that it goes unchecked, leading to considerable tissue remodelling and the formation of permanent scar tissue.
