    Acetic acid causes the fibres to swell up and become indistinct. On boiling they yield gelatine. Fig. 13.—White fibrous tissue x 400 (Quain's Anatomy). 3. Yellow Fibrous Tissue forms a variable proportion of connective tissue, being especially abundant beneath the skin, mucous and serous mem- branes. Microscopically, it consists of yellow, elastic, curhng, branching fibres, of a larger size than the fibres of white fibrous tissue. It is unchanged by acetic acid and the weaker alkalies. Chemically it yields elastin (fig. 14). 4. Ground Substance.—The intercellular ma- terial present in connective tissue consists of a homo- geneous material, surrounding the cells and fibres cementing them together. It is stained by silver nitrate like the intercellular cement of epithelium. Distribution of White Fibrous Tissue.—
