. Compendium of histology. Histology. FIFTH LECTURE. CONNECTIVE TISSUE. TRUE connective tissue, the " cellular tissue " of the older anatomists, is very extensively diffused throughout the body. As a member of the whole tissue group, it also consists of cells and intercellular substance. The latter, on boiling, does not yield the chondrin of cartilage (p. 42), however, but ordinary glue or glutin. The intercellular substance here shows a further metamorphosis in a double direction ; firstly, into the so-called connective tissue bundles and ffbrillae; and secondly, into the multiform
. Compendium of histology. Histology. FIFTH LECTURE. CONNECTIVE TISSUE. TRUE connective tissue, the " cellular tissue " of the older anatomists, is very extensively diffused throughout the body. As a member of the whole tissue group, it also consists of cells and intercellular substance. The latter, on boiling, does not yield the chondrin of cartilage (p. 42), however, but ordinary glue or glutin. The intercellular substance here shows a further metamorphosis in a double direction ; firstly, into the so-called connective tissue bundles and ffbrillae; and secondly, into the multiform elastic elements. The latter form fibres, reticular fibres, perforated membranes, limiting layers around connective- tissue bundles, and also around spaces which con- tain cells. The longest known is the gelatine yielding fibrilla, the constituent which im- mediately attracts the eye. It appears in the form of a very fine, hyaline, un- branched filament, mm. in diameter, often very extensible, and at the same time possessing elas- ticity (Fig. 51, to the left). These very readily isolat- able fibrillae very commonly unite into sometimes thinner, sometimes thicker bundles (in the figure to the right). Their elasticity very frequently produces an undulated or curly.
