Collagen fibers arranged in one direction providing strength and are found in tendons and ligaments
Irregular connective tissue
Collagen fibers arranged in different directions provides strength in multiple directions and are found in capsules around organs
Areolar loose connective tissue
Open space, holds water and salt for surrounding tissues and are found under epithelium and around organs

Contains reticular fibers and creates stiff framework that supports other cells
