There is no longerany doubt about this fact and we may therefore regard itas the basis of our physiological idea of the elementaryorganisms. After this general description of the cells of the differ-ent parts of the body, he makes the following statementin reference to the brain cells: In the protozoa in theone cell plants and primitive animals, the whole organismpermanently consists only of a single cell. On the con-trary in most animals and plants, it is only in the earliest.

It afterwards forms a cell society or more cor-rectly an organized cell state. The human body is notin reality a simple life unit as is at first the universallycurrent simple belief of man. It is rather an extremelycomplex social community of innumerable microscopicorganisms, a colony or a state consisting of countless in-dependent life units of different kinds of cells. * * .* Allthe numerous tissues of the animal body such as the en-tirely dissimilar tissues of the nerves, muscles, bones,outer skin, mucous skin and of other similar parts areoriginally comp
