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,
