SYSTEMATIC SYNTHESIS OF TISSUES. 189 



in every direction, and made very light without materi- 

 ally diminishing its strength. 



188. ON THE OTHER HAND IT MAY BE SAID that Bony 



Tissue is constituted as a texture of hollow bony rods 

 packed together in different directions, such as will give 

 to each part of a Bone its greatest strength, which will 

 be clearly shown in the description of the different Bones. 

 Remark. Bony Tissue has a multitude of Blood-tubes in every part, 

 and is, of all the passive tissues, most readily restored. 



SECTION VII. 

 Comparison of Tissues. 



189. A COMPARISON OF ALL THE TISSUES SHOWS that 



there are three active and three passive. 



190. A COMPARISON OF THE ACTIVE TISSUES SHOWS 



that they are permanent varieties of the cellular, and are 

 all albuminous, yet different from each other, and the 

 substances within the cells are called Nervine, Muscu- 

 line, Celline. The latter is of many varieties. 



191. A COMPARISON OF THE PASSIVE TlSSUES SHOWS 



that they may be considered as varieties of the sinewy 

 tissue with additions ; that they are gelatinous, with or 

 without the combination of earthy matters, and called 

 Osteine, Chondrine or Cartilagine, and Gelatine. 



192. THE BODY THEREFORE is COMPOSED of three 

 gelatinous and three albuminous tissues; and the organic 

 substances of which these tissues are composed, as they 

 exist in the living body ready for action, have the six 

 distinctive names that indicate clearly the correctness 

 of the tissural classification. 



( Gelatine. 

 GELATINOUS < Chondrine. 



( Osteine. 



( Celline. 

 ALBUMINOUS < Musculine. 



( Nervine.
