Explanation:
Cells of connective tissue except blood secrete fibres. Fibroblasts are main cells of connective tissue that secrete various types of fibres. There are three types of fibres secreted by connective tissue cells and each type is formed by proteins. These are collagen fibres, elastic fibres and reticular fibres. All provide strength, elasticity and flexibility to connective tissue.
