Collagen fibers are the most numerous fibers in connective tissue. Although fresh collagen fibers are colorless strands, when they are present in great numbers the tissues in which they lie are white.
Collagen fibers are inelastic and because of their molecular configuration, have a tensile strength greater than that of steel.
Collagen fibers consist of closely packed thick fibrils, the collagen fibrils. The collagen fibrils consist of tropocollagen.
In many parts of the body, collagen fibers lie parallel to each other, forming collagen bundles.
