Fig. 28.—Elastic membrane from inner coat of aorta, and, below, mesh- work of elastic fibres from a yellow ligament. (Cadiat.) As a general rule these fibrils are easily affected by chemical re-agents. Weak acids cause them to swell up and become indistinct. Baryta water affects the cement and ren- ders them easily se]Darable. They swell and dissolve in boiling water yielding gelatine, which forms a jelly on cooling. In some parts of the body, however, a different kind oi intercellular sub- stance is formed, which is highly elastic, does not give gelatine on Fig. 29.—A teazed preparation of connective tissue showing fine and coarse elastic fibres mingled with bundles of fibrillar tissue and connective tissue cor- puscles.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21932943_0052.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
