ANS: A
Connective tissue is made of cells and extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts are a type of resident cell
that not only serves a role as the cellular component but actually synthesizes the extracellular
matrix in which the cells reside. Fibroblasts play a large role in the synthesis of collagen, which is
the fibrillar component of most extracellular matrixes.
