Detailed explanation-1: -In Reticular Connective Tissue type III collagen/reticular fiber (100-150 nm in diameter) is the major fiber component.
Detailed explanation-2: -Collagen. The fibrous protein, Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, making 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. It is found predominantly in the extracellular space within various connective tissues in the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen fiber is made from fibrous protein subunits linked together to form a long and straight fiber. Collagen fibers, while flexible, have great tensile strength, resist stretching, and give ligaments and tendons their characteristic resilience and strength.
Detailed explanation-4: -Three types of protein fibers occur in connective tissue: collagen fibers, which are strong and stretch-resistant; elastic fibers, which are flexible and resilient; and reticular fibers, which form an interwoven framework.
