Dense regular has dark-staining collagen fibers that run parallel to each other.

It provides connections between bone-to-bone and muscle-to-bone, and it is strong and can stand great tensile stress. Dense regular can be found in ligaments and tendons (i.e. white fibrous tissue).

Dense irregular is not dark-staining, and the collagen fibers aren't parallel.

The structure of the fibers allows support from many directions. Dense irregular is found in the dermis of the skin.

In general, a 'regular' issue means that its fibers run in the same direction, while a 'irregular' tissue's fibers run in all directions.
