Dense regular connective tissues have collagen fibers that are closely packed and parallel in this tissue form. Ligaments and tendons include this sort of tissue. These are extremely resistant to tensile forces applied axially yet allow for considerable flexibility.
Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue defined by the presence of lipid-rich cells called adipocytes. Adipose tissue, which accounts for around 20%–25% of total body weight in healthy adults, serves primarily to store energy in lipids (fat).
Elastic cartilage, also known as yellow fibrocartilage, gives specific body portions, such as the ears, strength, and flexibility.
