EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. The extracellular matrix of connective tissue is composed of ground substance and fibers. In ordinary connective tissue, the ground substanc e consists mainly of water. The principal fiber type is collagen (the most abundant protein in the body), with elastic fibers as a minor element.The extracellular materials which comprise the matrix are produced by fibroblasts.he extracellular fibers of connective tissue are traditionally classified into three types: 1  Collagen fibers confer main tensile strength, and are the stuff of scars. 2  Elastic fibers confer elasticity. 3  Reticular fibers (really, a special form of collagen) provide a delicate supporting framework for loose cells.
Connective tissue is tissue where cells are distributed within an extracellular matrix. An extracellular matrix is defined as any part of an organism's tissue that is located outside of the cells. Connective tissues have many different functions. second type of connective tissue is fibrous connective tissue which is composed mainly of dense fibers made of parallel bundles of collagen, which is an extracellular protein that forms rope-like filaments with great tensile strength.
