EFFECT OF A GRAFT ON THE GRANULAR CONTRACTION ink on the edges of the wound, decreased in the lower part (presence of granulations) while it remained constant in the upper part (absence of granulations). The wound became trapezoidal (Fig. 5) and when totally healed resumed its primitive shape. It is therefore certain that epithelization inhibits the function of contraction of the granulations. When epithelization is precocious, the scar is large and thin. When it is slow, the contraction is stronger and the scar is thick and comparatively smaller. The preparation of the surface of the wound for the migra- tion of the epithelial cells is also a function of the granulations. But it seems that their principal role is to bring the edges of the wound within a certain distance of each other, about 10 or 15 milhmetres in a dog. This may be deduced from the fact that a wound which is 10 milUmetres broad, no longer contracts. The contraction becomes useless because at a distance of 10 milhmetres the secondary mechanism, namely epithehzation, functions easily, as we will show farther Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Lecomte du Noüy, Pierre, 1883-1947.
