Thus some of the cells may contain 'pigment granules, forming pigment cells (B), or oil globules may be deposited in them to such an extent that the cells become spherical, while the intercellular substance is reduced, thus affording fat or adipose tissue. Most common of the connective tissues is fibrous tissue (white or non-elastic tissue) in which the cells are branched or spindle-shaped while the matrix is filled with fine fibrillae of considerable strength and little elasticity. These fibrillae are parallel to each other in tendons (C), which have to convey strains in one direction; or they maybe interlaced confusedly, the tissue then forming sheets or membranes. Occasionally, as between the skin and the muscles, the fibrous tissue may be loose (areolar tissue). In elastic tissue fibres of another kind are mingled among the non-elastic fibrils. These are yellow and elastic, and when abun- dant give an elastic character to the whole. In cartilage and bone the matrix is more solid and is abundant. These are the skeleton-building tissues. In cartilage the matrix is.
