Theselarge cells extend in rows for some distance between the musclefibres, but are entirely outside them; the condition is, in fact, one of. Fig. 69.—Section of adipose epicardium.

In very marked cases this fatty i infiltration of the connective tissue cells may extend as far as the endocardial surface, when, however, it is almost invariably associated with true fatty degeneration of the muscle fibres. (X 400).—The cells of the adipose tissue are closely packed together, and the following parts may be observed in each. The protoplasm of the cell forms a mere film, except at one point or angle, where there is usually a triangular mass of protoplasm contai
