    2.13   Dense connective tissue Version française
Dense connective tissue around the head of a long bone.

In this field two types of dense connective tissue lie side by side.

(Left) The dense connective tissue is composed of large bundles of type I collagen fibres seen in longitudinal sections (arrows) and cross sections (arrowheads). There are few fibrocytes (F) between these fibres.

(Right) The fibrocytes (F) have a distinct acidophilic cytoplasm. They are abundant and dispersed among less intensely stained disorganized collagen fibres (*).
