This tissue has a preponderance of elastic fibers. Examine the longitudinal and cross sections of ligamentum nuchae (ungulate) on slide #10 (even boxes). This is an elastic ligamentprepared with resorcin fuchsin which stains elastin purple. It is very difficult to distinguish the cells. Observe that the tissue consists of parallel bundles of thick elastic fibers held together by loose C.T. containing some blood vessels. Collagen fibers stain pink.
