It consists of microscopic band-like or cylindrical bundles or fasciculi of exceedingly fine homogeneous fibrils (Fig. 22), which are known as the elementary connective tissue fibrils.

According to the number of these the bundles differ in size. The bundles, and also their constituent fibrils, may be of very great length—several inches. Where the fibrous tissue forms continuous masses— as in tendon, fascia, aponeurosis, skin, and mucous membrane—the microscopic bundles are aggregated into smaller or larger groups, the trabeculce, and these are again associated into groups. The fibrils are held together by an albuminous (globulin), semi-fiuid, homo- geneous cement substance^ which is also present between the bundles forming a trabecula.
