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.
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.
Strands of fibrous tissue are commonly referred to as collagen fibers. These fibers are a key component of connective tissues, providing strength and structural support to various organs and tissues in the body. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
The name of the protein that forms the basic fibers of body tissue is collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides structure and strength to tissues such as skin, tendons, and bones.

Gound substance and protein fibers
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.
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 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.
Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues
Elastin is the yellow fibers that make connective tissue flexible. It provides elasticity and resilience to tissues such as skin and blood vessels.
The three types of protein fibers in connective tissue are collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers. Collagen fibers provide strength and support, elastic fibers allow for stretch and recoil, and reticular fibers form a network to support other cells and structures.
