White nerve-fibres compose most of the brain, spinal cord, and cere-bro-spinal nerves, and enter into the structure of the organic terminate in the various internal organs, at the surface of thebody, and in the substance of the cerebro-spinal axis, by forming loops.\a size they vary from — to j^ of an inch in diameter. Gray nerve-fibres are smaller in diameter, and less constitute the principal part of the organic system, and are alsof, ssent in the cerebro-spinal nervts, most abundantly in those ofSensation. The nerve-ceUs vary from ^ to — of an inch in diameter. Theyare composed of a capsular sheath, containing a reddish-gray granulaisubstance, and one or more nuclei and nucleoli, the nucleus beingattached to the sheath. Nerve-cells are found in the gray substanceof the brain and spinal cord, in the ganglions of the cerebro-spinalnerves, ana in the organic nerves and their ganglia.
