The microscope and its revelations . Capillary network around Fat-cells,c Capillary network of Muscle. D. Distribution of Capillariesin Mucous Membrane. Distribution of Capillary blood-vesselsin Skin of Finger, 437. A relation may generally be traced between the dis-position of the Capillary vessels, and the functions they aredestined to subserve; but that relation is obviously (so to DISTEIBTJTION OP CAPILLAEIES IN DIFFERENT PAHTS. 735 Fig. 330. speak) of a mechanical kind; the arrangement of the vesselsnot in any way determining the function, but merely adminis-tering to it, like the arrangement of water- or gas-pipes in amanufactory. Thus in Fig. 329 a, we see that the capillariesof fatty tissue are disposed in a network with rounded meshes,so as to distribute the blood among the fat-cells (§ 422);whilst at B we see the meshes enormously elongated, so as topermit muscular fibres to lie in them. Again, at c we observethe disposition of the capillaries around the orifices of thefollicles of a mucous membrane; whilst at d we see the loopedarrangement which exists in the papillary suiface
