Collagen fibrils, elastic fibers, microfibrils, nerve fibers, and smooth muscle cells were observed in the reticular fibers of the splenic cord. On the other hand, only microfibrils were recognized in the reticular fibers of the capillary sheath. The binding of LFA lectin to the splenic cord was stronger than the capillary sheath.
Collagenous fibers: collagenous fibers are made of collagen and consist of bundles of fibrils that are coils of collagen molecules. Elastic fibers: elastic fibers are made of elastin and are "stretchable." Reticular fibers: reticular fibers consist of one or more types of very thin collagen fibers. They join connective tissues to other tissues.
Elastin replacing collagen fibers of the papillary dermis and reticular dermis: Elastosis perforans serpiginosa: Degenerated elastic fibers and transepidermal perforating canals (arrow in image points at one of them) [18] Perforating calcific elastosis: Clumping of short elastic fibers in the dermis. [18] Linear focal elastosis
Reticular connective tissue is a type of connective tissue [1] with a network of reticular fibers, made of type III collagen [2] (reticulum = net or network). Reticular fibers are not unique to reticular connective tissue, but only in this tissue type are they dominant. [3] Reticular fibers are synthesized by special fibroblasts called ...
Fiber types found in the extracellular matrix are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers. [19] Ground substance is a clear, colorless, and viscous fluid containing glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans allowing fixation of Collagen fibers in intercellular spaces.
The reticular dermis is the lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely-packed collagen fibers. It is the primary location of dermal elastic fibers. [2] The reticular region is usually much thicker than the overlying papillary dermis.
This type of connective tissue is found mostly in the reticular layer (or deep layer) of the dermis. [3] It is also in the sclera and in the deeper skin layers. Due to high portions of collagenous fibers, dense irregular connective tissue provides strength, making the skin resistant to tearing by stretching forces from different directions.
Fibroblasts make collagen fibers, glycosaminoglycans, reticular and elastic fibers. The fibroblasts of growing individuals divide and synthesize ground substance. Tissue damage stimulates fibrocytes and induces the production of fibroblasts. [7]
