Elastic fibers
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.

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.
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 Connective Tissue
Fibrous protein
The dermis contains dense irregular connective tissue with elastic fibers and collagen type I. It also contains very few fibroblast cells.
The two fibers found in the matrix of connective tissues are collagen fibers, which provide strength and flexibility, and elastic fibers, which allow tissues to stretch and recoil. These fibers work together to provide structural support and maintain the integrity of the connective tissue.

Elastic cartilage is a type of connective tissue found in the body that is highly flexible and provides shape and support to certain structures, such as the external ear and the epiglottis in the throat. It contains a higher proportion of elastic fibers compared to other types of cartilage, making it more resilient and able to return to its original shape after being bent or compressed.
