between those tubes by means of the leaflets,
which unite the pedicels of numerous Bronchial
tubes <s>there is a very minute anastomosis
established between these tubes by means of the
leaflets, which [text?] the pedicels of numerous
Bronchial tubes<\s>, which would otherwise have
no communication with one another -
No other communication nor anastomosis,
except this, exists between any two Bronchial
tubes in any part of the lungs (of course
the place where each tube branches out from the
larger one from which it takes its origin is
not included in this statement), and the only
communication between the air contained in the
adjoining lobules is that which the leaflets
at the base of each establish by means of
their pedicels. It is in consequence of
these adjoining leaflets, thus blending together
at the base of each lobule, that it is found
impracticable entirely to separate any parti=
=cular lobule from those which are adjacent
to it, without inflicting some injury to the
structure of each, although the sulci, which
divide them may be very marked and decisive.
