Fibroblasts produce three types of connective tissue fibers: collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers. Of these, collagenous and elastic fibers are the most abundant. Fibroblasts produce three types of connective tissue fibers: collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers.
Elastic fibers are small, branching fibers up to 1 m in diameter. Unlike collagen and reticular fibers, elastic fibers exhibit no axial periodicity. Moreover, they can be distinguished from the other fiber types when stained with orcein. In connective tissue, elastic fibers are produced by fibroblasts.
