Which fiber is for stretching?
-
Reticular
-
Collagen
-
Elastic
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Elastic fibers are responsible for stretching. Unlike collagen fibers, which provide strength and support, elastic fibers are able to stretch and recoil, allowing tissues to return to their original shape after being stretched or compressed. Reticular fibers, on the other hand, provide a supportive framework for organs and tissues. Therefore, the correct answer is elastic.
