SCTID:361919005 OpenCyc:Mx4rv-aBgZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA textus connectivus One of the four types of tissue in traditional classifications. It is largely a category of exclusion rather than one with a precise definition, but there are certain characteristics shared by all or most tissues in this category, such as involvement in structure and support, derived from mesoderm, and characterized largely by the traits of non-living tissue.[AAO] XAO:0001017 ZFA:0001632 MA:0000011 VSAO:0000017 GAID:100 AAO:0000098 CALOHA:TS-2009 MAT:0000301 Portion of tissue that consists of mesodermally derived cells and intercellular matrix comprised of protein fibers and carbohydrates, which supports, ensheathes and binds together other tissues.[TAO] portion of connective tissue galen:ConnectiveTissue MA also has set of connective tissues MESH:D003238 NCIT:C12374 EFO:0000952 UMLS:C0009780 BTO:0000421 TAO:0001641 MIAA:0000301
