Dick, John C (1938) Studies on the Elastic Tissue of the Skin and Its Relation to the Maintenance of Tissue Tension and to Lymphatic Drainage. MD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

1. The histology of the elastic tissue in the skin is described. 2. A method is described for determining the elasticity of the shin after death. 3. The importance of the shin as a physical "elastic membrane," possessing a certain amount of tension, is discussed with relation to tissue tension and the extravascular circulation of fluid in the limbs. 4. A short account is given of the part played by the shin, by reason of its elasticity and its effect on tissue tension, in the development of oedema.
