20 per cent., is of service. The arteries and capillaries are easily in- 

 jected ; the veins Avith great difficulty; most readily in Man. The 

 nerves are found with ease on the arteries ; the lymphatics may be best 

 studied in the Ox.

OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS. 



§ 171. Under the head of respiratory organs are usually enumerated 

 only the larynx, trachea, and lungs ; but I consider it as most suitable 

 here to describe two organs connected genetically with those respiratory 

 organs of the embryo, which remain undeveloped, that is to say, the 

 branchial arches ; and which, physiologically, perhaps, belong to the 

 lungs — the thyroid gland and the thymus. 



OF THE LUNGS. 



§ 172. The structure of the lungs corresponds, in all respects, with 

 that of a compound racemose gland, presenting, in the lobes, lobules, 

 and air-cells, the proper glandular parenchyma ; whilst the bronchice,
