These are not the only veins, which return the blood, brought by the <s>Pulmonary<\s> Bronchial arteries, some large veins belonging to the Bronchial system are always to be found accompanying the larger Bronchi. They may be distinguished from the Bronchial artery by being less firmly bound down to the Bronchial tubes, and by the other characters which distinguish veins from arteries<s>.<\s>, <s>They are found to be less firmly bound down to the Bronchial tubes<\> they are to be found in the loose cellular tissue which intervenes between the large pulmonary veins and the Bronchial tubes; <u>they have valves<\u>, and short trunks of anastomosis crossing directly from one <s>trunk<\s> Bronchial vein to another.
