Define reticular, elastic &
collagen fibers?
reticular - highly branched delicate fibers found in organs that have lots of mesh-like structures
elastic - are thinner fibers which can stretch and recoil
collagen - the strongest and thickest protein fibers found abundantly in the connective tissue
Define tibia & fibula?
the tibia and fibula are attached to each other by a connective tissue, composed of collagen and elastic fibers; tibia is a larger bone on the inside, and the fibula is a smaller bone on the outside of the bone below the femur
