Fibrous protein
The three types of protein fibers found in connective tissue are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength and structural support, elastic fibers allow for stretch and resilience, and reticular fibers form a supportive framework. All these fibers contain proteins that contribute to the overall function and integrity of the connective tissue. Specifically, collagen is made of collagen proteins, elastin comprises elastic fibers, and reticular fibers are primarily composed of type III collagen.

It is one of the four types of tissue in traditional classifications (the others being epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue).Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% of the total protein content.[2]"
Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen 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.

Fibroblasts (Cell type 1) are primarily responsible for producing the protein fibers found in connective tissue proper, including collagen and elastin fibers. These fibers provide structural support and elasticity to the connective tissue.

The matrix of connective tissue is composed of collagen, reticular, and elastic fibers embedded in ground substance (typically composed of water with stabilizing proteins). The fibers are made by fibroblasts and the most abundant in the body is collagen, while the least abundant is elastic.
Connective tissue possesses an abundant extracellular matrix. This matrix is made up of fibers, ground substance, and cells, providing structural support and connecting different tissues and organs in the body. Examples include bone, cartilage, and tendon.
Connective tissue is the class of tissue comprised of widely spaced cells and abundant extracellular material. This extracellular material can include fibers and ground substance that provide support and structure to the tissue. Examples of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue.
Collagen is the protein substance that forms the glistening inelastic fibers of connective tissue such as tendons, ligaments, and fascia. It provides strength, structure, and support to these tissues, contributing to their ability to withstand tension and stress.
Elastin is the yellow fibers that make connective tissue flexible. It provides elasticity and resilience to tissues such as skin and blood vessels.
