    Glossary Elastic Fibers

    provide elasticity and resilience to various body tissues

    Elastic fibers, also known as elastin fibers, are a type of connective tissue fiber composed primarily of the protein elastin. These fibers provide elasticity and resilience to tissues, allowing them to stretch and return to their original shape. They are found in various tissues throughout the body, including the skin, lungs, and blood vessels, playing a crucial role in maintaining their structural integrity and function.
