Fibrinogen

Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein in vertebrates that helps in the formation of blood clots. It consists of a linear array of three nodules held together by a very thin thread which is estimated to have a diameter between 8 and 15 Angstrom. The two end nodules are alike but the center one is slightly smaller.

Fibroblast

Cell of connective tissue that produces and secretes fibers for example collagens, reticular and elastic fibers and other ground substance in order to maintain the extracellular matrix especially during wound healing or tissue repair, and to provide a structural framework for many tissues.
