| erectile tissue | A tissue with numerous vascular spaces that may become engorged with blood. Synonym: cavernous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty tissue | <anatomy> Connective tissue that has been specialised to store fat. See: adipocyte. (25 Jun 1999) |
| fibrin tissue adhesive | <chemical> An autologous or commercial tissue adhesive containing fibrinogen and thrombin. The commercial product is a two component system from human plasma that contains more than fibrinogen and thrombin. The first component contains highly concentrated fibrinogen, factor viii, fibronectin, and traces of other plasma proteins. The second component contains thrombin, calcium chloride, and antifibrinolytic agent such as aprotinin. Mixing of the two components promotes clotting and the formation and cross-linking of fibrin. The tissue adhesive is used for tissue sealing, haemostasis, and wound healing. Pharmacological action: haemostatics, tissue adhesives. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrohyaline tissue | In an adult, tissue resembling cartilage. In an embryo, an early stage in cartilage formation. Synonym: fibrohyaline tissue, pseudocartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous tissue | Although most connective tissue has fibrillar elements, the term usually refers to tissue laid down at a wound site well vascularised at first (granulation tissue) but later avascular and dominated by collagen rich extracellular matrix, forming a scar. Excessive contraction and hyperplasia leads to formation of a keloid. (18 Nov 1997) |

| Lillie's allochrome connective tissue stain | <technique> A procedure using PAS, haematoxylin, picric acid, and methyl blue; used for distinction between basement membrane and reticulin, and for demonstration of arteriosclerotic lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
