This fibro-cartilaginous structure, and the
fibrous tissue, where the cartilages are absent,
are supplied entirely and exclusively by the
Bronchial arteries; certain minute vessels,
connected with the air-cells, or more properly
with the leaflets, which immediately surround
the Bronchial tubes, penetrate through the
fibro-cartilaginous structure to reach the
plexus lining the mucous membrane and
certain other vessels also, which collect the blood
from that plexus, perforate the fibrous structure in the
other direction to reach the venous ramusculi
which are dispersed over the external surface
of the tube: and both of these are in connection
with the pulmonary vessels; but though these
