GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Loose connective tissue is composed of loosely woven collagen and elastic fibers. The fibers and other components of the connective tissue matrix are secreted by fibroblasts. Loose connective tissue, also called areolar connective tissue, has a sampling of all of the components of a connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collagen fibers are stained a blue hue, nuclei a blue-black, and cytoplasm, keratin, and muscle fibers a range of pink to red hues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen fibres are white in colour and are made up of collagen protein. The fibres are unbranched and usually occur in bundles. Elastic fibres are yellow in colour and are made up of elastin protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Collagen fibers themselves are inelastic, but movement between the collagen fibers imparts elasticity to the tissue. Normal hand motion occurs when these strong, dense connective tissue structures glide relative to one another.
