It also receives lymphatic vessels, and minute twigs of the pulmonary plexus of nerves. The walls of the air cells are of extreme thinness, consisting of delicate elastic and connective tissue, and lined inside by a single layer of thin epithelial cells.

Now pleasure wears a freer garb; and the manners of enjoyment are more frank and unrestrained.
