Fibrous tissue is composed mainly of collagen fibers and specialized cells, providing strength and support in the body. It forms part of the connective tissue that helps hold organs and structures in place, and plays a role in healing injuries like cuts and tears. Fibrous tissue can be found in ligaments, tendons, scar tissue, and areas where the body needs reinforcement. Its fibers are arranged to withstand stretching and pressure, ensuring stability and resilience of tissues and organs throughout the body.
