Sometimes a number of cylindrical cells are laid end to end, and, by the absorption of the transverse partitions, form a continuous tube, as in the sap-vessels of plants, or in muscular and nervous fibre; and when cells are thus woven together, they are called cellular tissue, which, in the human body, forms a fine net-like membrane, enveloping or connecting most of its structures.

I saw hundreds of them hopping about and eating the shell fish and prawns, which swarmed amidst the meshes of the net-like seaweed and fell an easy prey to their feathered enemies.

Veins forming narrow rows of net-like spaces (areoles) beneath the fruit-dots, thence free to the margin.

A wide range of cloths is made from the scrims or net-like fabrics to others more closely woven than that illustrated. B.A "BAGGING" made from comparatively fine single warp arranged in pairs and then termed "double warp."
