connective tissue
In a sense connective tissue is like raisin bread. It's made up cells and "stuff" which can be thought of as analogous to raisins (cells) and bread ("stuff"). Of course in the body we have various types of raisins/cells and a matrix that is much more complex then bread, still, simplistic as it may be, this practical kitchen pantry visual can give a rough idea of the structure of connective tissue.
" the connective tissue is like a big liquid crystal lattice running everywhere, interconnecting all our organs. CT is even inside our smallest cells..."
"Connective tissue is like the "cellular glue" that gives your tissues their shape and helps keep them strong"
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
