with the Bronchial arteries with which they are in
relation - these Bronchial veins cannot be injected
in a retrograde direction because of their valves, but
if proper care be observed the injection sent into the
Bronchial arteries can be made to flow into these
veins through the Bronchial capillaries.
Lymphatics
Besides the veins already mentioned as occu=
=pying the sub-pleural cellular tissue a very extensive
plexus of lymphatic tubes is found minutely ramify=
=ing in the same structure -
These lymphatic ducts make their way from the
interior of the lungs by passing through the fissures
which divide the lobules and the minute leaflets
of which the lobules are made up. They are spread
over the surface of the lungs in n intricate
meshwork and form larger vessels, which run
in a straight direction across the sub-pleural
tissue to reach the posterior mediastinum -
Nerves.
In the sub-pleural tissue also, the termination
of the nerves derived from the pulmonary plexus are to be
distinguished. The nerves from this plexus are
distributed to every part of the lungs, and in
their ramifications correspond very closely with
those of the Bronchial artery - It is clear and beyond
