SECTION OF CEREBRUM. 

 Showing morphology and arrangement of the cells. 



5. Spindle-shaped cells. This layer lies next to the 

 medulla, and is composed of spindle-shaped cells, with 

 nerve fibers between them. The cells are arranged 

 parallel with the fibers. These five layers constitute 

 the cortex of the cerebrum. In these, that part of the 

 nervous force dedicated to the cerebrum, is carried on. 

 The fibers extending from the cortex, with the connect- 

 ive tissue structure holding the nerve fibers together, 

 constitute the medulla of the cerebrum.
