Why is dense irregular connective tissue not the type found in tendons and ligaments?

Answer 1

Dense irregular connective tissue are not the type found in tendon and ligament because tendon and ligament type of connective tissue binds bones tightly to other bones in one direction and dense irregular connective tissue are not necessarily binding tissues..

Answer 2

Dense irregular connective tissue has collagen fibers arranged in a random pattern, providing strength in multiple directions but less tensile strength than the parallel arrangement in tendons and ligaments. Tendons and ligaments require the tensile strength provided by the parallel arrangement of collagen fibers to withstand the forces experienced during movement.
