Cellular Tissue, Tendons, Ligaments, Skin, Hair. 



These may be classified together as tissues that yield gelatin. 

 They are distinguished more by their microscopical than their 

 chemical characters, and we may refer to Henle for an excellent 

 account of their minute structure. The elements of cellular or 

 combining tissue (Bindegewebe) in whatever part of the body

 diameter from -0003 to '0008 of a line, and lying in close ap-
