This is very instructivebecause we see not only that the cells which composethe gland have acquired a special character of theirown, but also that they are not uniform in their ap-pearances. This lack of uniformity is due chiefly tothe fact that the cells change their appearance accord-ing to their functional state. We can actually see inthese cells under the microscope the material im-bedded in their protoplasmic bodies out of which the
