might have been injected by these vessels in the most
perfect manner: the process of thickening which
the tissue has undergone in connection with the
Bronchial artery will have obliterated nd blocked
up the capillaries belonging to the Pulmonary vessels
to such an extent that it will be found impossible
to inject them fully -
Bronchial
veins
In the cellular tissue lying immediately beneath
the Pleura, some veins of considerable size are
to be seen, whenever the Bronchial artery has been
fully injected. These veins are never distended
by injection derived from the pulmonary vessels,
however perfectly these latter only may have been injected
throughout the lungs, and they never fail to become
injected when the Bronchial arteries are so filled
as to distend their capillaries. They return the
blood collected from the sub-pleural cellular tissue
and this blood is the residue of that sent to that
structure by the Bronchial arteries and by none
other. a drawing of these veins (as seen by the
naked eye and of the natural size) is shewn in
Series B N<sup>o<\sup>5 and a representation of the same, as seen when magnified to 20 diameters is likewise
shewn in Series B N<sup>o<\sup>6.
