  • The white fibrous connective tissues can be of following two types:
  1. White fibrous cords (tendons): In this type, the white fibrous connective tissue forms cords called tendons. These tendons connect muscles with the bone.
  2. White fibrous sheets: In this type, the white fibrous connective tissue forms sheets.  It is found in the dermis, connective tissue sheaths of muscles and nerves and tunica adventitia of large blood vessels, periosteum of the bone, perichondrium of cartilage, pericardium of heart, durameter of brain and spinal cord, renal capsule of the kidney, sclera and cornea of eyeball and fibrous capsule of penis and testes.
