ANATOMY OF THE MUSCLES. 67 nre arranged in layers, one over another. The sheath of each muscle is loosely connected with another, by the cellular membrane. 156. The interstices between the ditierent muscles are filled with adipose matter, or fat. This is sometimes called the packing of the system. To the presence of this tissue, youth are indebted for the roundness and beauty of their limbs. Fig. rig. 37. A transverse section of the reck. The sepnrtite muscles, as they nrearranged in layers, with their investing fascits, are beautifully represented. Asthe sj-stem is symmetrical, figures are placed only on one side. In the trunk themuscles are arranged in lnyers, surrounded by fascise, as in the neck. The sameIS crue of the muscles of the upper and lower limbs. 12, The trachea, (windpipe.) 13, The oesophagus, (gullet.) 14, The carotid anerj^audjugtilar vein. 28, One of the bones of the spinal column. Tlie figures that are placedin the white spaces represent some of the fascife ; the other figures indicate muscles. 157. The muscles may be arranged, in conformity with thegeneral division of the body, into four parts : 1st. Those ofthe Head and Neck. 2d. Those of the Trunk. 3d. Thoseof the Tipper Extremities. 4th. Those of the Lower Ex-tremities. 156 Give a reason why the limbs of yout
