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.
Types of connective tissue fibers (released by subunits secreted by fibroblasts). 1  Collagen fibers, the most common fibers in connective tissue proper, are long, straight, and unbranched. 2  Elastic fibers contain the protein elastin and are branched and wavy, returning to their original length after being stretched. Dense connective tissue, or fibrous tissue, consists mainly of collagen fibers and found: 2  between the skeletal muscles and the tendons. 3  between bones and ligaments. 4  covering skeletal muscles and visceral organs.
