[part II. 



These structures, divided, however, transversely or obliquely, may be distinguished in 

 almost any section of the skin that may be examined, as well as the connective and 

 elastic tissue and the aggregations of fat cells in the areolar tissue below, which go

to form the greater portion of the true skin. Scattered in the meshes of these 

 fibrillated tissues the above-mentioned glandiilar and other structures are found, 

 together with numerous vascular textures, sanguineous and lymphatic.
