Sparse collagen connective tissue
Sparse (fibrillar) collagen connective tissue develops from the remnants of the mesenchyme from which other connective and supporting tissue developed.
Its cellular component is mainly represented by fibroblasts and macrophages, further includes both collagen fibres, and elastic fibres.
The predominant component in this type of binder is amorphous matter.
Features[edit | edit source]
The delicate structure of the ligament is not very resistant to large mechanical action, but the arrangement of this ligament allows a limited movement of the parts of the organs against each other.
Occurrence[edit | edit source]
Sparse collagen connective tissue fills the intercellular spaces of muscle cells, forms the support tissue for the epitheliums and contains blood and lymphatic vessels.
This connective tissue forms pars papillaris corii, tela subcutanea, the connective tissue substrate of serous collagen membranes, glands and mucous membranes.
