SYNOVIAL SYSTEM. 



273 



Q. What general observations have you to make on this 

 tissue? 



Jl. That in its organization, properties, functions, sym- 

 pathies, it resembles precisely the articular synovial sys- 

 tem. 



Q. What do you mean by synovial fringes? 



A. They are elongations and duplicatures of the mem- 

 branes, from which the synovia is almost exclusively ex- 

 haled. 



Q. Are there not points of difference in the serous and 

 synovial systems, besides those already stated? 



t#. The serous tissues have more blood-vessels, more 

 lymphatic, and apparently fewer laminae.
