Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dense irregular connective tissue has fibers that are arranged in an interwoven meshwork that provides tensile strength in all directions. Reticular connective tissue has fibers that form a network instead of a meshwork, periosteal connective tissue is a specific type of dense irregular connective tissue found on the outer surface of bones, areolar connective tissue has loosely arranged fibers, and elastic connective tissue has elastic fibers that allow for stretching and recoiling.
