It is composed of microscopic cells, or closed sacs, hav-ing a cylindrical form, and filled with musculo-plasm. Thesecells are so small that hundreds of them would be requiredto make a speck large enough to be seen by the naked eye. * When one of these bags of liquid, which are quite numerous, especiallyabout the hand, becomes enlarged and distended, it is commonly named aweeping sinew. It produces a remarkable weakness of the part, is easilycured, and should be at once attended to. 63. Each cell is complete by itself, and wlioever understands one understands all the bilhons upon billions throughout the Body.

The formof the bundles is veryirregular in the mus-cles. The size hereis very much magni-fied. These cells, and these only, in the Body, have the poweror the property of contraction or shortening, and of exten-sion or lengthening, but in the direction only of theirlength. Both of these acts inclusive are named Muscula-tion. The cells when extended are about twice as long asthey are broad. As they contract, their length diminishes,and their breadth increases, but not so much as to equaltheir diminution in length. That is, their entire bulk, ifsuch a word is applicable to so small a t
