- 9. Match
Match the fiber types to their functions.
Reticular Fibers
These fibers are extremely tough and provides strength to the connective tissues
Elastic Fibers
These fibers are stretchy and bounce back like rubber bands.
Collagen Fibers
These fibers are made of shorter, thinner, branched collagen fibers. They form nets to support your organs.
