| Connective Tissue Characteristics |
|
Definition
Few Cells and LOTS of Extracellular Matrix.
CT is filled with strands of fibers (made mostly of sticky collagen).
In the blood stream, fibers are only created "on demand." |

| Name the Three Communicating Networks |
|
Definition
1. Fiberous
2. Neural Net
3. Fluid Net |
|
|
Term
| Characteristics of the Fiberous Network: |
|
Definition
It follows the fibers of the connective tissue from skin down to the bone and wrapped around the organs.
This is a mechanical communication of tugs and pulls on the fibers. |

|
Term
| Characteristics of the Neural Network: |
|
Definition
| Follows the electrical communication of the nervous system and its 640,000 sensory receptors. |
|
|
Term
| Characteristics of the Fluid Network: |
|
Definition
Includes the Bloos vessels, Lymphatic vessels, and other fluids of the body.
All fluids communicate chemically. |

| The "KEY" to the Holistic Standpoint: |
|
Definition
All three networks (Fibrous, Neural and Fluid) are:
Interconnected
