Collagen is an elongated protein that forms extremely strong but very small fibrils. These fibrils bound together to form collagen fibres which is seen in microscope. Elastin on the other hand, is bundles of proteins in extracellular matrix of connective tissue and produced by fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in arteries. Elastin fibres may be stretched to several times their original length but rapidly resume original length once released.
