select all that apply for collagenous fibers that are true

• stretch resistant

• thin with glycoprotein

• tough, flexible stretch resistant

• in tendons and ligaments and deep layer of skin

select all that are true of reticular fibers

• made of protein elastin

• thin collagen fibers

• tough and flexible

• form framework for spleen

• coated in glycoprotein

Select all that are true elastic fibers

• allows stretch and recoil

• tough, stretch resistant

• made of protein elastin

• thicker than collagenous fibers

• thinner than collagenous fibers
