It was not until the year 1839 that Theodor Schwann, a professor of anatomy and physiology at Louvain, Germany, advanced his cell theory in which he postulated that all living matter is made up of cells. Modem biochemistry has no quarrel with this concept and accepts the cell as the fundamental organized unit of all living matter. The living cell is composed of a number of intracellularly located elements which are surrounded by an extremely thin and delicate membrane. This membrane is a complex and fragile structure which is and must be considered an integral part of the cell as a living unit. Cellular architecture or structural compartmentation within the cell is also achieved almost entirely by means of individual membranes surrounding each of the intracellularly located parts.
