Inflammation of the connective tissue about the
caecum. |

ENDONEURIUM |
The delicate bands of connective tissue among nerve
fibers. |
|
ENDOMYSIUM |
The delicate bands of connective tissue interspersed
among muscular fibers. |
|
INTERFASCICULAR |
Between fascicles or bundles; as, the
interfascicular spaces of connective tissue. |

FULCRUM |
The connective tissue supporting the framework of the

The layer of vascular connective tissue lining the
medullary cavities of bone. |
|
STROMA |
The connective tissue or supporting framework of an organ;
as, the stroma of the kidney. |
|
PERINEURIUM |
The connective tissue sheath which surrounds a bundle
of nerve fibers. See Epineurium, and Neurilemma. |
|
PERICHONDRIUM |
The membrane of fibrous connective tissue which
closely invests cartilage, except where covering articular surfaces. |
|
FIBROCARTILAGE |
A kind of cartilage with a fibrous matrix and
approaching fibrous connective tissue in structure. |
|
PERIOSTEUM |
The membrane of fibrous connective tissue which closely
invests all bones except at the articular surfaces. |
|
PERIMYSIUM |
The connective tissue sheath which surrounds a muscle,
and sends partitions inwards between the bundles of muscular fibers. |
|
NEUROGLIA |
The delicate connective tissue framework which supports
the nervous matter and blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord. |
|
SCLEROSIS |
Induration; hardening; especially, that form of
induration produced in an organ by increase of its interstitial
connective tissue. |
|
GLIOMA |
A tumor springing from the neuroglia or connective tissue
of the brain, spinal cord, or other portions of the nervous system. |

LEUCOCYTE |
A colorless corpuscle, as one of the white blood

immediately beneath the skin; the stronger layer of connective tissue
covering and investing all muscles; an aponeurosis. |
|
COLLAGEN |
The chemical basis of ordinary connective tissue, as of
tendons or sinews and of bone. On being boiled in water it becomes
gelatin or glue. |
|
EPINEURIUM |
The connective tissue framework and sheath of a nerve
which bind together the nerve bundles, each of which has its own
special sheath, or perineurium. |
