Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mature fibroblasts perform the following functions ____
A
maintain local homeostasis of connective tissue
B
produce immunoglobulins
C
synthesis and secretion of the intercellular substance
D
participate in the energy production and water metabolism
E
deliver antigens to lymphocytes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. A fibroblast is a type of cell that contributes to the formation of connective tissue, a fibrous cellular material that supports and connects other tissues or organs in the body. Fibroblasts secrete collagen proteins that help maintain the structural framework of tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Human fibroblasts synthesize elevated levels of extracellular matrix proteins in response to interleukin 4.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fat Cells Can Develop From Fibroblasts Fat cells, or adipocytes, also derive from fibroblastlike cells, both during normal mammalian development and in various pathological circumstances.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary function of fibroblasts is the maintenance of structural integrity within the connective tissue. They achieve this by secreting extracellular matrix precursors required for formation of the connective tissue and various fibres.
