Fig. 6. Fig. 1. 62. Contents of Cells; Granules; Nucleus and Nucleo- lus.—The fluid of cells is transparent, except in the case of blood. In it there generally float an immense number of gra- nules, having no investing membrane, but sometimes they are thus invested. Each cell has also a nucleus and a nucleolus ; the first being a globular, or lenticular body, from ^ oVoth to eVooth of an inch in diameter, attached to, or imbedded in the wall of the cell, though some are free. The nucleolus is a granule within the nucleus. Both are shown, as well as the common granules, in Fig. 6. 63. Appendages of Cells.—Sometimes cells have a sort of tail attached to them, and are hence called caudate, as in Fig. 8. Sometimes, too, they are stellate, as in Fig. 9, show- ing the pigment cells of a frog's foot. 61. Define cells. What is the originnl form of them? How do they acquire the poly- hedral form? 62. Explain nucleus, nucleolus and cell wall. 63. What are the appendages of cells?
