The primary function of fibrous tissue is to provide support and stability for organs and structures in the body. Regular fibrous tissue, such as tendons and ligaments, connects muscles to bones and bones to each other, enabling movement and the maintenance of joint stability. In contrast, irregular fibrous tissue, which forms the deeper layers of the dermis of the skin, provides tensile strength and resilience, helping the skin withstand various stresses. Additionally, fibrous tissue plays a vital role in the healing process. When tissues are injured, fibrous tissue forms scar tissue to restore integrity and provide a framework for new tissue formation.
