Explanation:
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: -Elastin is a key extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that provides resilience and elasticity to tissues and organs. Elastin is roughly 1000 times more flexible than collagens; thus, the main function of elastin is the elasticity of tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reticular fiber is composed of one or more types of very thin and delicately woven strands of type III collagen. These strands build a highly ordered cellular network and provide a supporting network. Many of these types of collagen have been combined with carbohydrate.
