Each cell includes an oval nucUAis, which is flattened if the cell it belongs to is flattened. The cell substance is a pale, homo- geneous-looking or longitudinally striated substance. During extreme contraction the nucleus may be- come more or less plicated, so that its outline becomes wavv or zicj-zag. It lias been shown by Klein in certain preparations
