connective tissue
Part 2
, Fibers of connective tissue
• The fibrous component of the connective tissue formed from proteins that pol
after secretion from fibroblasts .
• The three main types of fibers include :
1. Collagen fibers From Collagen protein
2. Reticular fibers
3. elastic fibers From elastin protein
• As these fibers are distributed unequally among the different types of connect
it gives specific tissue properties according to the predominant type.
, Collagen
• Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body.
• Produced mainly by the fibroblasts.
• A family of 28 collagens exists in vertebrates, but some play a key ro
in building the body, and those will be the focus of discussion.
