Question

what are the characteristics of collagen fibers? they are important components of lymphatic organs and tissues. they are thin, highly branched fibers that form support networks. they have great tensile strength. the are grouped in long, parallel bundles. they are flexible but only slightly elastic. need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Collagen fibers are strong, grouped in long - parallel bundles, and are flexible with slight elasticity. They are not the main components of lymphatic organs and tissues (reticular fibers form support networks in lymphatic organs). Thin, highly - branched fibers forming support networks are reticular fibers, not collagen fibers.

Answer:

They have great tensile strength.
The are grouped in long, parallel bundles.
They are flexible but only slightly elastic.
