over the mucous membrane of the Bronchial tubes
and which is more closely connected with the
Pulmonary Veins will be the very part, which
will escape being injected; whereas on the
contrary if this plexus were, as is commonly
asserted, supplied by the Bronchial arteries,
it ought invariably to be injected whenever
the Bronchial arteries are themselves filled,
but it is shewn that it is impossible to inject
this plexus from that source, even in those
cases, where by accident a part of the pulmo=
=nary capillaries may receive the injection
sent into the Bronchial arteries -
In giving directions that the injection pipe
should be inserted into the arteria innomi=
=nata rather than into the commencement of
the Aorta several advantages are sought:
the necessity for opening the pericardium
and wounding the tissue of the heart is avoided;
and additional scope is given to the injection
by allowing a part to flow into the coronary
arteries and the risk of applying the ligature
so as to obstruct the passage of the fluid into
a principal Bronchial artery is escaped.
