Active fibroblast
The fibroblast is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of collagen and elastic fibers, as well as the ground substance. This cell contains the extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus needed for this synthetic activity. The highly euchromatic nucleus, seen in the upper portion of the micrograph is indicative of an actively secreting cell. 8000x
