Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reticular fibers form a meshlike framework that provides structural support for many organs, such as the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. Collagen fibers provide tensile strength to tissues and tendons, elastic fibers provide elasticity to tissues such as skin and blood vessels, mucoid fibers are not a connective tissue protein fiber, and cartilaginous fibers do not exist.
