Based on the analysis of theliterary sources, the article presentsthe connective tissue as a functional system and describes its functions in the body. It makes an attempt to justify the appurtenanceof the connective tissue to the regulatory system of the body

The first chapter of the book by M. O. Fessenmeyer «Bone: an Element of Diagnostics» presents an analysis of the notions «bone» and «part of skeleton». The author pays special attention to the process of morphogenesis and to the bone modeling capacity, considering a bone as a «living» element, which follows the laws of life.
