Fibrous tissue consists of fibroblasts and an extracellular matrix containing both fibrillary structures (collagen, elastin) and nonfibrillary, gel-like ground substance. Both fibroblasts (spindle-shaped cells) and myofibroblasts, which are modified fibroblasts showing features common to fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, produce procollagen and collagen Collagen is the main component of the extracellular matrix, forming a heterogeneous group of closely related, noncontractile structures varying in function and distribution. Elastin is the main component of elastic fibers that are closely associated with collagen fibers. The ground substance of connective tissue is glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides), the most common types being hyaluronic acid and chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfates. Both elastin and glycosaminoglycans are also synthesized by fibroblasts [17, 48].
