Elastic Fiber
Consists of protein called elastin. It has the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched.
Function: give tissue an elastic quality
Location: skin, lungs, arteries, veins, connective tissue proper, elastic cartiage, peridontal ligament, fetal tissue and other tissues.

Connective tissue makes up part of every organ in the body. It is very abundant. It differs from the other three tissue types in that it consists of cells separated from each other by abundant extracellular matrix.
The Extracellular Matrix of Cinnective tissue has three major components one of which are the protein fibers of the…[Read more]-
