reticular fibers |
these short branching fibers cluster into delicate networks and have the ability to glide freely across one another whenever the network is pulled, allowing give |
|
elastic fibers |
these long, thin branching fibers form wide networks within the extracellular matrix and possess the ability to stretch and then return to their original length |
|
mast cells |
