Solution:
There are three types of fibrous components in connective tissue: collagenous, elastic, and reticular.
The fibroblasts release collagen in the form of tropocollagen molecules, which subsequently combine extracellularly to create striated collagen fibrils.
Elastic fibres, which are made of the protein elastin, differ from collagenous fibres in size, pattern, and chemical makeup.
The ability of reticular fibres to create fine-mesh networks surrounding cells and cell groups distinguishes them.
