Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Elastin fiber, comprised of the elastin protein and fibrillar components, is the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that is responsible for tissue elastic recoil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elastic Connective Tissue The main fibers that form this tissue are elastic in nature. These fibers allow the tissues to recoil after stretching.
Detailed explanation-3: -Elastin makes tissues elastic, so that the tissue will recoil after stretch. Elastic fibres are 5 times more extensible than an elastic band! Mixing up collagen (less extensible) and elastin, prevents overstretch.
