Connective tissue cells are lousy at contraction, so-so as conductors, but they secrete and amazing variety of products into the intercellular space that contribute to our bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons. In other words, it is these cells which create the surroundings for all of the others, building the strong, pliable ‘stuff’ which holds us together, forming the shared and communicative environment for all our cells-what Varela termed a form of ‘exo-symbiosis’- shaping us and allowing us directed movement. -Tom Myers, Anatomy Trains
