OF THE CELLULAR SYSTEM. 



Q. Give a definition of the cellular tissue. 



ft. It is composed of an assemblage of filaments, and 

 soft, whitish laminae interwoven and intersecting each 

 other in various ways, with very irregular communicating 

 spaces, forming reservoirs for the fatty and serous fluids. 



Q. What relations does this texture bear to the several 

 organs? 



t/?. It surrounds, separates, and connects them; and 

 continuing to their interior structure, it enters universally 

 into their composition. 



Q. Define more particularly the relations of this tex- 

 ture to the exterior of the various organs. 



*fl. There are organs which have one surface free, the 

 other adherent; the cellular texture is connected only with 

 the adherent side of these organs. There are other parts 

 entirely surrounded by neighbouring organs; the cellular 

 textuue entirely surrounds these. 



Q. Which are the organs with a free and an adherent 

 surface? 



*#. The skin, the serous and mucous membranes. 



Of the Sub-cutaneous Cellular Texture. 



Q. At what part is the cellular texture most adherent 

 to the skin? 



#. At what is termed the median line of the body; 

 viz. the middle of the nose, lips, sternum, and linea alba
