of collagen fibers in
bundles disposed in all directions
Rare reticular and elastic fibers
Small amounts of ground substance
Cells : fibroblasts, fibrocytes, plasma
cells, macrophages, mast cells,
leukocytes

Longitudinal section :
Parallel bundles of collagen and elastic fibers
Ground substance and cells among the
fibers
tenocytes cells with wing-like processes
disposed in twin pairs
