Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scar tissue is constructed of many collagen fibers, which are produced by fibroblasts during the process of wound healing. Collagen is a fibrous protein that provides strength and support to tissues. Blood (A) is a fluid connective tissue that does not contain collagen fibers. Transitional epithelium (C) is a type of stratified epithelium that lines the urinary tract and can stretch and adjust its shape. It is not constructed of collagen fibers. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium (D) is a type of epithelial tissue that lines the respiratory tract and reproductive system; it also does not contain collagen fibers. Simple cuboidal epithelium (E) is a type of epithelial tissue found in glands and other areas where secretion or absorption occurs; it also does not contain collagen fibers.
