Because blood in veins is under lower pressure than in arteries, so they do not need as many collagen fibres. In addition, as veins already have a wide diameter, they do not need to dilate that much hence they also dont contract that much (as opposed to artieries), so they have less elastic recoil, thus they have less elastic fibres. :)

3 fibers types found in the connective tissue?

Collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers are the three main types of fibers found in connective tissue. Collagen fibers provide strength and support, elastic fibers offer flexibility, and reticular fibers form a network-like structure to support various tissues and organs.


What are the types of fibers found in the dermis?

The dermis contains mainly collagen fibers, which provide strength and support to the skin. Additionally, there are elastic fibers that allow the skin to stretch and recoil. Finally, reticular fibers can also be found in the dermis, providing a supportive framework for the skin cells.
