Solution

The matrix of fibrous connective tissue includes:

  1. Ground substance: This is a component of the extracellular matrix produced by the cells of the connective tissue. It fills the spaces between the cells and fibers and helps to bind, support, and provide a medium for the exchange of materials.

  2. Fibers: Fibrous connective tissues are rich in collagen fibers that provide strength and flexibility. There are also elastic fibers that provide elasticity, and reticular fibers that support.

  3. Fibroblasts: These are the most common cells in connective tissue. They produce the fibers and ground substance that form the extracellular matrix.

Lacunae and Osteocytes are not typically part of the fibrous connective tissue matrix. Lacunae are small spaces that contain the osteocytes in bone tissue. Osteocytes are a type of bone cell.
