| | Thus, connective tissues are crucial to all aspects of wound healing. | | | This change emphasizes the fact that the connective tissue right under an epithelium is almost always visibly specialized to support the overlying epithelium. | | | Before concluding this exercise it is well to consider in a little more depth how connective tissues relate to associated epithelial components. |

| | Connective Tissue |
| | The tendons (connecting muscles to bone) and the elastic ligaments (connecting bones to bones) are examples of specialized orderly forms of connective tissue. | | | In some cases where a foreign body (such as a small splinter) has penetrated the inner tissues of the body, several macrophages may fuse together to form multinuclear foreign body giant cells. | | | These all develop from monocytes and are grouped as part of the Mononuclear Phagocyte System of the body. |

| | Symptoms and signals of Undifferentiated CTD may be different from one person to the next, although many seem to share a mix of similar autoimmune conditions. | | | The first step, then, in correctly identifying and addressing the specific condition and its problems, is to seek the proper health care. | | | Both conditions are chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases, involving a disorder of the body's connective tissues. |

| | Blood is a fluid connective tissue that circulates throught the body. | | | When bone spicules become sufficiently large, osteons start to form within them. | | | Mesenchyme gives rise to all the connective tissue of the body, as well as to some other tissue (muscle, vascular and urogenital systems, and the serous membranes of body cavities). |
