(After Strong, from Baileys Histologj.) nective tissue and other non-nervous cells is not clear.The wide-spread belief that the neurofibrils constitutethe essential conducting elements is not universallyaccepted. In the developing embryo the functionalactivity of the nerves precedes the appearance withinthem of any demonstrable neurofibrils. Numerous minute highly refractive granules, canals of various shapes and frequently pigment andother inclusions occur in the cytoplasm in
