Excerpt from A Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences Embracing the Entire Range of Scientific and Practical Medicine and Allied Science, Vol. 5 The same series of changes which take place in the mesentery of the frog can be seen in the mesentery of the mammal, although here a complicated apparatus is meces sary in order that the mesentery maybe observed under conditions approaching the normal. An excellent way is to kill animals at various times, from minutes to hours, after injury to the mesentery by the injection of irritating substances, and then to make microscopic preparations of the mesentery. The tissue can be instantly killed and hardened, and the actual conditions thus studied much better than during life. The different pictures of the process which are given in this way are extremely sat isfactory. All the details of emigration and diapedesis can be studied, all the varieties of leucocytes can be differentiated, and the part each plays can be determined. (plate XXXIV., Figs. 1, 2, For the study of changes which take place in non-vas cular tissues the cornea may be chosen. The literature of acute inflammation of the cornea is enormous. It has been the battlefield on which the conflict as to the char acter and origin of the cells which appear in the tissues in acute inflammation has been fought. The accessibility of the tissue and its simplicity admirably adapt it for this study. The cornea is covered with the con j unctival epithelium. Its tissue is composed of straight fibres of white fibrous tissue which lie in planes, all the fibres of the same plane being parallel. Between the fibres there is a cement substance which stains brown with nitrate of silver. The cells of the cornea, connective-tissue cells, are much branched, flattened antero-posteriorly, and lie in spaces of the same shape between the fibres. All the spaces open into one another and constitute a series of channels through the tissue which communicate with the lymphatics and lymph Spaces in the surrounding parts. There is also a series of more definite lymphatic channels around the nerves which communicate with the cell spaces.
