4 shaking up of the elements or cells which
make the brain. They are Jared or
shaken. displaced one with reference 20
the other. There are changes In the rela-
tons Of the cells; there are small points
OF blood which may be detected. or the
Vestiges OF them may be detected after
ward. where, from some cause, the patient
dies, or at a later period In case OF con
custom, very material changes, in tho
form of changes in which We nnd lime
making I'D a part of the cells OF points Of
surface which are injured at the time.
When YOU take portion OF the surface, or
outer part of the head-Of the brain
should say--and you examine II under q
microscope, you will find that IL Is made
up Of little bodies. some OF them which are
shaped rather rounded. some again which
are rounded with branches running of
from them, and some are shaped like
pyramid, and in faet different forms.
These several forms are called cells, and
that part OF the brain is called the cellular
structure OF the brain, namely the outer
side OF the brain.

amount of blood will be almost constant t.
