tubes belonging to the adjacent lobules.
But though each lobule and each group of lobules
is in a great measure distinct as regards their
appropriate Bronchial tubes and Pulmonary
arteries the case is strikingly different with respect
to the Pulmonary veins; these do not, like
the former, penetrate, as it were, into the substance
of the lobules and thus become identified with
a particular lobule, but they are invariably placed
between contiguous lobules, and between contiguous
groups of lobules, and collect their venous radicles
(conveying of course arterial blood) indescriminately
from the lobules between which they are situated.
The only pulmonary veins, therefore, which
are found in connection with the minuter
Bronchial tubes and their accompanying
arteries are the ramusculi, which collect the
blood from the mucous membrane which lines
those tubes. The true pulmonary veins, on
the contrary are placed in the interlobular spaces
which separate contiguous lobules and contiguous
groups of lobules, and as respects the smaller bron=
=chial tubes and pulmonary arteries are placed at
a distance from them - <s>A d<\s>rawings, in Series C
