Under the micro-scope the tissue appears to consist of long, often parallel, bundles of fibers ofdifferent sizes. The cells in tendons, figure 39, are arranged in long chains inthe ground substance separating the bundles of fibers, and are more or less regu-larly quadrilateral with large round nuclei containing nucleoli, generallyplaced so as to be contiguous in two cells. Each of these cells consists of athick body from which processes pass in various directions into, and partiallyfill up the spaces between, the bundles of fibers. The rows of cells are sep-arated from one another by lines of cement-substance. Yellow Elastic Tissue. Yellow elastic tissue is found chiefly int
