Detailed Solution

Fibroblasts in connective tissues (excluding blood) secrete collagen and elastin fibers, providing strength and elasticity. They also secrete modified polysaccharides like glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, creating a matrix that supports structure, hydration, and cell signaling. This matrix varies for different tissues, ensuring proper function and properties.
