strength and flexibility
Cytoskeleton fibers are comprised of three different protein filaments which are Actin, Intermediate and Microtubules. Their purpose is to establish the shape of the cell, provide strength, transport organelles and chromosome separation in mitosis and meiosis.
Protein Fibers
Elastic fibers made of the protein elastin has a coiled structure which allows it to stretch and recoil. Fibers can stretch up to 150 percent of their relaxed state length without breaking.
Spindle fibers.
Fibrous protein

Collagenous fibers are the white fibers consisting of the protein collagen, common in connective tissues, including bone matrix as on the other hand Elastin fibers are stretchy yellow connective tissue fibers consisting of the protein elastin.
Collagen are protein fibers that form a lattice-like structure within the bone, where minerals are deposited.
Muscle tendon fibers interlace with periosteal fibers to anchor muscles firmly to bone.
Bone Cells, Collagen Fibers, Ground Substance
Elastic connective tissues have fibers that are composed of the protein elastin. And provide rubbery resiliency to matrix.
Sharpey's Fibers
-stores fat to provide energy-insulate the body-fill the area between tissue fibers-provide padding for the body
The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.
Collagen is a protein that gives the bone flexibility, elasticity, and strength.
