Technically they are the same.
Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.

Dense connective tissue made of collagen fibers?
Collagen fibres are important part of connective tissue. Depending on type of connective tissue you have more or less collagen fibres in it.
The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?
Fibroblasts are the most common resident cells in ordinary connective tissue. Fibroblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and other elements of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue.
What collagen connective tissue link bones?
Articular ligaments connect bones.They are made up of collagen.
Dense connective tissue is to a suture as a periodontal ligament is to a?
collagen I fibril
What of protein makes up connective tissue?
Fibrous protein

What strong fibers give connective tissue strength?
Collagen
Are Bundles of collagen often found in loose connective tissue?
no
What organelles are in connective tissue?
The organelles are found in connective tissue are the nucleus, cytoplasm, Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles work together to make collagen and connective tissue.
Does loose connective tissue contain chondrocytes?
No, Chondrocytes are found in a flexible connective tissue. Specifically, they are the chondroblasts in the collagen matrix of cartilage.
