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: -The amorphous ground substance is a gelatinous material surrounding the fibers and permitting extracellular fluid to diffuse through. The collagen and elastic fibers of connective tissue proper are histologically distinguishable as three fiber types: collagen, reticular, and elastic fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The organic portion or protein fibers found in connective tissues are either collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength to the tissue, preventing it from being torn or separated from the surrounding tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers in connective tissues are formed by collagen, elastin and reticular proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Collagen fibers-most are type I collagen (most abundant protein in the body) Elastic fibers-contain elastin and fibrillin. Reticular fibers-contain type III collagen.
