extracellular fibers ( collagenous, elastic and reticular fibers)
◉macrophage. Answer: cells in the connective tissue that originate
as white blood cells that fight off infection
◉mast cells. Answer: immune cells that release chemicals (such as
histamine) that promote inflammation
◉collagenous fibers - collagen. Answer: thick threads of protein,
grouped in long, parallel bundles that are flexible but only slightly
