“Tendons are strong, tough bands of inelastic fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. They are the body’s highest strength connective tissue. Tendons consist of elongated cells, minimal ground substance and collagen fibers. The collagen fibers are packed closely together, parallel to the direction of force.”
Inside the Heart
Tissue-paper thin but tough, the valves of the human heart open and close to pump 6 quarts (0.9 liters) of blood a day through 60,000 miles (97,000 kilometers) of vessels. That’s equivalent to 20 treks across the United States from coast to coast.
Small intestine with diverticulosis
Small intestine with multiple diverticuli present at the border of the mesenteric attachment. These show mucosal protusions through the muscular layers which are surrounded by muscularis mucosa and fat.

“The heart is filled with fractal networks - in the coronary arteries and veins the fibers binding the valves to the heart wall, the cardiac muscles themselves.”
These fractal systems act to protect against injury - and are the key characteristic to the circulatory system - holding the entire structure together despite the strength of pumping. They are the basis for the structure of the lungs. Fractals allow us to live.
