Fibroblast cell

Fun Facts

1. Fibroblasts play an important part in healing wounds to the body. 2. Fibroblasts move to the site of injury and drop off new collagen to perform the healing process. 3. most common type of muscle tissue cell in the body. 4. they produce collagen which makes up most of the body's connective tissue. 5.

Specific Protein: Collagen

A tough and strong fiber when compressed to the body's organs and tissues. The most common fiber in the body. Without the Fibroblasts producing it, the body would be lacking an essential collagen backbone to most of it's organs tendons and muscles.

Cell Structure

No solid form, the nucleus in middle held by the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Ribosomes, and Mitochondria float near the outer rim of cytoplasm, Cytoplasm connects to collagen fibrils outside of the cell.

Connection Between Structure and Function

The Golgi apparatus located in the cell's cytoplasm and creates the fiber that is secreted through the collagen fibrilis.

Pictorial Hierarchical Order

fibroblast cell → smooth muscle tissue → stomach → digestive system.

Cell Function

the fibroblast cell creates the extracellular matrix and collagen as well as stroma through synthesis to be used for animal tissues. These functions are used during the repair of cells which is the healing of an organism.
