Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect on the ability of fibroblast to produce collagen in the absence of vitamin C in diet.
Introduction:
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential component of diet. Mainly it is found in citrus fruit such as orange, lemon and so on. Though it is needed in small quantity but its deficiency can cause significant damage to the body. It is a water soluble vitamin thus; its biological half-life is quite short.

Describe the fiber arrangement in loose (areolar)connective tissue. What are the functions of this tissuetype, and where is it found in the body?
There are three distinct types of connective tissue fibers, namely: collagenous, elastic, and reticular. Differentiate one from the other
Unlike loose connective tissue, which has loosely arranged fibers, dense connective tissue has tightly packed fibers. How does this structure affect how the tissue responds to forces and tension?
