GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibroblasts are spindle shaped, and actively secreting matrix. Their cytoplasm is basophilic, so there will be quite a lot of purplish blue staining of the cytoplasm, using the H&E stain. Adults tend to have less active fibroblasts, called fibrocytes, which have paler stained cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The five cell types found in Areolar connective tissue are, Fibroblasts, Adipocytes, Mast cells, Mesenchymal stem cells, and Macrophages. The three types of protein fibers in the ECM are-collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticulated fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fibroblasts are the most common cell type of connective tissue. They produce both fibers and amorphous ground substance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Numerous cell types are found in connective tissue. Three of the most common are the fibroblast, macrophage, and mast cell. The types of connective tissue include loose connective tissue, adipose tissue, dense fibrous connective tissue, elastic connective tissue, cartilage, osseous tissue (bone), and blood.
