THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ELASTIC TISSUE OF THE HUMAN F
TUS
1 Physiological Department of the London (Royal Free Hospital) School of Medicine for Women
The wide distribution and early appearance of tissue with a great affinity for elastin stains indicates that this type of tissue plays an important part in the functional development of many organs; its appearance is in certain cases correlated with the time at which functioning of the organ begins.
This work was undertaken during the course of an investigation on the human f
tus which is being carried out jointly with Professor M. L. Lucas Keene, and for which we beg to acknowledge a grant from the Thomas Smythe Hughes Medical Research Fund of the University of London. I also have to thank the Medical Research Council for a grant in aid.
