Sub-pleu=
ral cellular
tissue.
Immediately beneath the pleura and closely
adherent to it is the sub-pleural cellular tissue
which may be separated into numerous layers,
each of which is spread out from the successive
divisions and subdivisions of the Bronchial
tubes; each layer being furnished with its
special allotment of capillary blood -vessels given
off from the Bronchial artery -
Though these Bronchial arteries are thus minutely
distributed upon the successive layers of cellular
tissue, yet they cannot by the minutest injection
be made visible on the tissue of the pleura itself;
this structure therefore must be a product of secretion
of the cellular tissue immediately beneath it, because
it is impossible to suppose that its fabric is repaired
by those branches of the Pulmonary system which
alone are found to ramify within it, since those
vessels are adapted only to accomplish the Respiratory
function: but when false membrane has become depo=
=sited on the surface of the Pleura, it will be seen, that
these vessels penetrate through the Pleura and are
freely distributed to the false membrane.
