The latter arebeset with minute varicosities and finally end interminal bead-like thickenings. The axones,slender and smooth and of uniform thickness,are much less conspicuous than the may be short and only extend to nearbycells ; or they may be of great length and con-nect distant parts that lie either wholly within the Fig. 836.
