PH801	Adipose tissue		connective tissue in which fat is stored and which has the cells distended by droplets of fat
PH802	Cartilage, elastic		provides strength and elasticity; found in external ear, epiglottis and auditory tubes
PH803	Cartilage, fibrocartilage		cushions and protects, such as intervertebral discs, pads in knee joints and pad between two pubic bones
PH804	Cartilage, hyaline		most abundant cartilage in the body, providing flexibility and support
PH805	Cellulitis, acute, thigh muscle		an acute, spreading infection of the deep tissues of the skin and muscle that causes the skin to become warm and tender

PH807	Clear cell sarcoma, muscle		a cancer in a muscle
PH808	Collagenous fibre	white fibrous tissue	strong, flexible but only slightly elastic, found in tendons and ligaments
PH809	Fat necrosis, omentum		a benign condition where fatty tissue swells or becomes tender, can occur spontaneously or as the result of an injury; here affecting the omentum (layers of peritoneum that give fat to abdomen)

PH811	Fibrosarcoma		a type of soft tissue sarcoma that begins in fibrous tissue, which holds bones, muscles, and other organs in place
PH812	Giant cell tumour, tendon		a usually benign tumour where the cells look large under the micrscope microscope (produced by the fusion of many cells )
PH813	Hyaline degeneration, muscle		tissue degeneration in which structural elements of muscle cells are replaced by homogeneous translucent material
PH814	Inflammation, acute, omentum		inflammation of a fold of the peritoneum (the thin tissue that lines the abdomen) that surrounds the stomach and other organs in the abdomen

PH823	Peritonitis, mesentery, acute		acute inflammation of the mesentry (a fold of the peritoneum surrounding the small intestine and binding it to the posterior abdominal wall)
PH824	Spindle cell sarcoma		a type of connective tissue cancer in which the cells are spindle-shaped when examined under a microscope
PH825	Spindle cell sarcoma with necrosis		a type of connective tissue cancer in which the cells are spindle-shaped when examined under a microscope, showing tissue death
PH826	Synovial sarcoma, tendon		a malignant tumour that develops in the synovial membrane of the joints
