Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Connective tissue cells are named according to their functions. Cells whose names contain the suffix-blast (germ) produce the matrix; cells ending in-cyte (cell) maintain it; and cells ending in-clast (break) break it down for remodeling.
Detailed explanation-2: -The principal cell of connective tissues is the fibroblast, an immature connective tissue cell that has not yet differentiated. This cell makes the fibers found in nearly all of the connective tissues. Fibroblasts are motile, able to carry out mitosis, and can synthesize whichever connective tissue is needed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The undifferentiated (immature) cell type has the suffix “blast”: Connective tissue proper: fibroblast.
