Soft tissues are generally  brous connective tissues which can be either
dense or loose, depending on the collagen content. They consist primarily
of elastin, amorphous ground substance, cells and collagen  bers (Martini
et al ., 1994). Collagen  bers can be arranged in agreement with a regular
(e.g., tendons) or an irregular (e.g., skin) pattern, and regular tissues (i.e.,
with a regular  ber arrangement) can be conveniently classi ed as uni- (e.g.,
tendons and ligaments) or multi- (e.g., arterial walls) directional. A multi-
directional tissue is herein intended to be made up of a number of stacked
thin layers (e.g., sub-lamellae in arterial tissues), each of them with a regular ...
