Présentation de l'éditeur
In order to comprehend the physiological function of any tissue, the relation which it bears to any other or to the organism of which it forms a part, and to recognize the changes which are associated with its life and growth, accurate information concerning its chemical composition is necessary. The group of connective tissues forms a class the members of which are related both as regards their mode of origin and their constituent elements. They resemble each other also in that the physical character of each is dependent on the presence in largely predominating amount of one particular constituent, usually albuminoid in nature. Until recently these tissues have been studied principally with reference to this preponderating component. Deductions regarding many of the other substances which might be associated with it have been made from inference rather than observation. Less than any of the class has the yellow elastic tissue been studied except with reference to its main constituent, elastin. Concerning other proteid substances or those which might arise from the metabolism of proteid only the most indefinite state-. ments are to be found. A few preliminary tests, however, have served to show us that the amount of simple (coagulable) proteid and mucoid obtainable from the ligamentum nuchae of the ox was more than would be expected from an extravascular tissue having a purely mechanical function. With these considerations in mind we have thought.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
