A. Cartilage
B. Done
C. Adipose tissue
D. Blood;E. Areolar tissue
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
A. Cartilage
B. Done
C. Adipose tissue
D. Blood;E. Areolar tissue
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- D, C, D and E only
- A, D, C and E only
- B, C and D only
- A, C and D only
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Fibroblasts are the primary cells responsible for secreting collagen and elastin fibers in connective tissues.
Cartilage, Bone, Adipose tissue, and Areolar tissue: All contain fibroblasts or related cell types (chondrocytes in cartilage, osteoblasts in bone, adipocytes in adipose tissue) that produce collagen or elastin fibers.
Blood: Blood does not contain fibroblasts. Its matrix (plasma) contains various proteins, but these are not secreted by blood cells in the same way that fibroblasts secrete collagen and elastin.
