MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Reticular fibers are the most common type of fibers in LCT. They actually consist of collagen fibrils, which are composed of type III collagen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collagenous fibers: large, strong fibers, mostly commonly Type I collagen, that provides high tensile strength to the extracellular matrix, found in dense and loose connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -These fibers consist of closely packed thin collagen fibrils (30-100 nm thick in ordinary tissues of mammals), and exhibit splitting and joining in altering the number of the fibrils to form a three-dimensional network as a whole.
