Human society is similarly composed. 

 The difference is only that in one case

 serve the cells or the human individual, 

 but not the body of society. The cells

 fection, move in space more freely and 

 independently of each other than do 

 the cells in their realm. These and 

 other differences do not, however, dis- 

 turb the general organic structure.
