Detailed explanation-1: -Fibroblasts are the most common cell type of connective tissue. They produce both fibers and amorphous ground substance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fibroblasts seem to be the least specialized cells in the connective-tissue family. They are dispersed in connective tissue throughout the body, where they secrete a nonrigid extracellular matrix that is rich in type I and/or type III collagen, as discussed in Chapter 19.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrocytes, adipocytes, and mesenchymal cells are fixed cells, which means they remain within the connective tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tendons and Ligaments and Fascia: these tissues are mainly composed of collagen fibers that were made by fibroblasts. They are designed to have great tensile strength but be flexible. These tissues connect the bones and muscles. The fascia also provide support for adipose tissue and muscles.
