Fibroblasts are the most common type of connective tissue cells found in the body. They are typically spindle-shaped and have large, flat nuclei. Their main function is the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix, which provides structural support to tissues and organs. Fibroblasts also play a role in wound healing and tissue repair.
