Illustration of dense irregular connective tissue (deep dermis)
Dense irregular connective tissue has fibers that are not arranged in parallel bundles as in dense regular connective tissue.
Dense irregular connective tissue consists of mostly collagen fibers. It has less ground substance than loose connective tissue.[1] Fibroblasts are the predominant cell type, scattered sparsely across the tissue.[2]
