(Figs. 138, 139, 143.) 1. Brain and Spinal Cord It will be recalled that the first great differentiation during the development of a multicellular animal establishes an outer ecto- derm and inner endoderm, and thus separates the functions of protection and general reactions to the environment from that of nutrition. It is natural therefore that the ectoderm should be-.
