[Avodah] Division of Mishnayos

[shalomyitz at comcast.net]

Who divided the mishna up into chapters & individual mishnayos? Did RYehudah HaNasi do this division, or did 
that come later? Are we supposed to learn something from the way that they are divided up? 

[Although I'm sure there are other places where this comes up, this is prompted by Terumos 3:1-2. 
Mishna 1 is about occasions where one has to give Teruma again, and the fact that it doesn't create 
meduma. Mishna 2 is a continuation of that topic. Why break those into two mishnayos?] 

Thanks, 

Shalom Yitz
