a - ii, b - iv, c - iii, d - v, e - i

a) Fibroblast - ii) Secretion of fibers

Fibroblasts are specialized cells found in connective tissue. They play a crucial role in maintaining the extracellular matrix by secreting fibers such as collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.

b) Plasma cells - iv) Antibodies

Plasma cells are a type of immune cell derived from B lymphocytes. They are responsible for producing and secreting antibodies, which are proteins that play a key role in the immune response.

c) Adipocytes - iii) Storage of fat

Adipocytes, also known as fat cells, are responsible for storing fat in the form of triglycerides. They make up adipose tissue, which serves as an energy reservoir, insulation, and cushioning for organs.

d) Macrophages - v) Phagocytosis

Macrophages are immune cells that are specialized in phagocytosis, which is the process of engulfing and digesting foreign particles, cellular debris, and pathogens.

e) Mast cells - i) Histamines

Mast cells are immune cells present in connective tissues and mucous membranes. They contain granules filled with substances like histamines. When activated, mast cells release histamines, which are involved in various immune and inflammatory responses, including allergic reactions.
