Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collagen fibers provide strength to dense connective tissue. Dense connective tissue has a matrix that is packed with collagen fibers, which provide strength and support to the tissue. The matrix is not fluid, and mast cells are not found in abundance in this type of tissue. Elastic tissue is both flexible and stretchy, and areolar tissue is loose and not tightly packed.
