Collagenous fibers are the tough fibers of connective tissue.
the dura
The connective tissue that forms the protective layer of the eye is called the sclera. This tough, white outer layer helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides attachment points for the eye's muscles.
connectiveThe outer layer of a blood vessel (artery or vein) is called the tunica externa or tunica adventitia.See http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_anatomy/unit7_3_cardvasc_blood1_classification.htmlpericardium is the layer of the blood vessel that is made of tough connective tissue.
An example of a tough connective tissue is a tendon.
Skeletal muscle is connected to the tough translucent sheath called the epimysium, which surrounds the entire muscle, through connective tissue. This connective tissue helps transmit the force generated by the muscle to the surrounding tissues and provides structural support.
Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it. A tough, fibrous, connective tissue renal capsule closely envelopes each kidney and provides support for the soft tissue that is inside.

A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones
no, but connective tissue surrounds the cartilage. a connective tissue is more like ligaments and tendons, but not cartilage.
