In zootomy, fibrous connective tissue (FCT) is a type of connective tissue which has relatively high tensile strength, due to a relatively high concentration of collagenous fibers. Such tissues form ligaments and tendons; the majority of the tissue does not contain living cells, the tissue is primary composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and water. There are several categories of FCTs:
- loose connective tissue
- dense connective tissue
- elastic connective tissue
- reticular connective tissue
