I broke the outside ankle one my left foot three months ago. I'm still having trouble with it. For about a month ago I got the hard cast off and now have a portable boot to wear. My Dr. wants me to wean off the boot within the next few weeks but my ankle is still hurting and swells up. I would like to know why and how come my ankle is still hurting and giving me trouble. I would like to see a picture and explanation of a broken ankle near the gtpwth bone in a 51 year old person.

[edit] Blood?

Does blood really count as "connective tissue"? I find that counterintuitive. AxelBoldt 19:58, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• It is counterintuitive, but embryologically and functionally it fits in with the connective tissues—it just has a more extensive and less viscous matrix—as I understand it. — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pics?

Hakusa - Wiki addict: 18:37, 23 September 2005 (UTC)I'm looking up pictures for my Anatomi I class. Unfortunatly there are none here. Is there anywhere on the internet I can find some?

Hakusa - Wiki addict: 18:37, 23 September 2005 (UTC) I noticed that Aveolar wasn't hear and I thought I remembered it from my textbook. Unfortunatly I don't have my textbook with me, but does anyone have any info on this? I do believe I remember hearing it was the most widely distributed CT, but not having my book, I can't verify this.

• Areolar connective tissue is a type of loose connective tissue. I've added that clarification on the article. It is pretty widely distributed since it surrounds organs, blood vessels, and nerves. -- Afra Ullah 05:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

blah. suck from the nipples of success.

Should alveoli, or at least the alveolar septum, be listed?

[edit] Connective tissue (osteichthyes?)

Would it be better to put something like chondrichthyes (cartilage fish) instead-of osteichthyes (bone fish)?

[edit] Lupus as a CTD

I just lost the detailed comment I wanted to put here regards my edit when I clicked on "What is a minor edit?" below.

I'm too furious about that now to repost it, so if anyone wants to know why I've added Lupus as a CTD please simply refer to the Merck medical manual entry for Lupus here http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec04/ch032/ch032g.html, or ask me if you require further info.

Its probably better I dont explain in detail why I think Lupus should be listed as a CTD except to say that a Lupus entry here helps tie together a particular clearly visible CTD as a possible indicator of Lupus, which is very nebulous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abunyip (talk • contribs) 11:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fix-up

The "classification" section is very disorganized. Someone from one of the three associated wikiprojects should look into it. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 03:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
