This concludes our de-scription of the normalhistology of the centralnervous system and itsmicroscopic changes. Inwhat has been detailed, ithas been impossible to give more than a partial picture, and it was presupposed that the macroscopic andgross anatomical relations of the central nervous system were already familiar.
