Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Connective tissue fibers include
A
proteoglycans, adhesion proteins and interstitial
B
collagen, elastic and reticular
C
osteoblasts, fibroblasts and hemoblasts
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Elastic fibers provide flexibility to the tissues. Reticular fibers are the third type of protein fiber found in connective tissues. This fiber consists of thin strands of collagen that form a network of fibers to support the tissue and other organs to which it is connected.

Detailed explanation-2: -Loose connective tissue works to hold organs in place and is made up of extracellular matrix and collagenous, elastic and reticular fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Connective Tissue Fibers and Ground Substance Three main types of fibers are secreted by fibroblasts: collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Classification of connective tissues: There are four classes of connective tissues: BLOOD, BONES, CARTILAGE and CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reticular fiber is composed of one or more types of very thin and delicately woven strands of type III collagen. These strands build a highly ordered cellular network and provide a supporting network. Many of these types of collagen have been combined with carbohydrate.
