Both compact and spongy tissues lose their conducting power more 

 or less rapidly after removal from their natural surroundings ; spongy 

 tissue much more quickly than compact. Spongy tissue may regain 

 the greater part of the loss of its cond activity, after the application of 

 water or fresh animal matter, but this is not the case with compact
