66 OF THE CELLULAR SYSTEM- 



Organization of the Cellular System. 



Q. What is the organization of the cellular texture? 



*ft. See the answer to the first question on this tissue; 

 but it may be added here, that there is great diversity of 

 sentiment on this topic. Of late, some distinguished ana- 

 tomists have supposed it a homogeneous gelatinous sub- 

 stance, without evident organization. 



Q. Where have you the best view of the organization 

 of this cellular texture? 



/2. A part of the scrotum is the fittest part, as it has no 

 fat in it. 



Q. Are the laminae of this texture delicate? 



A. Yes; as much so as vesicles of soap and water blown 

 from a pipe. 



Q. What are the filaments composed of? 



#. They are absorbents and exhalents. 



Q. What are the evidences of the organic nature of this 

 texture? 



/?. Its liability to disease. 



Q. In what portions of this texture are fat and serum 

 deposited? 



t#. In addition to what has been said, above of the adi- 

 pose texture, it may be observed, that these fluids are de- 

 posited in little cells, which form reservoirs; these cells 

 are composed of the transparent, non-filamentous layers. 

 The cells containing fat are impermeable, those with se- 

 rum freely communicate with each other. 



Q. What remarkable tendency is manifested by the fila- 

 ments and lavers of the cellular texture ?
