Collagenous fibers, Elastic fibers, and Reticular fibers
the three basic types of fibers that are found in connective tissue are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers
The three types are collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers. Some examples of collagenous fibers are; tendons, skin, bone, teeth, hyaline cartilage, vitreous humor, the lens of the eye, cartilage, hair, and placenta. Some examples of elastic fibers are found in arteries, veins, and elastic cartilage. Some examples of reticular fibers are found in the meshwork of bone marrow, the liver, and lymphatic system.

Elastic Fibers
Elastic Fibers
Elastic connective tissue consists of long fibers with tapered ends. These fibers are made of the protein elastin, which allows the tissue to stretch and recoil back to its original shape. Elastic connective tissue is found in structures that require elasticity, such as the skin, blood vessels, and lung tissue.
