=cous membrane and that portion which goes to the
tubular channels of the pleura, the remainder of the
anatomical characters of the pulmonary vein are as
simple as possible -
The smaller veins dip down in the sulci between
the leaflets and continue to increase in size as
they run in the interlobular surfaces, where they
are still placed in the fissures or crevises, which
intervene between adjoining lobules 2 and leaflets 1:
they collect twigs indiscriminately from all the
leaflets among which they are placed. The blood
therefore which they collect is not from any particu=
=lar leaflet or lobule, but each leaflet and lobule
sends its blood to more than one pulmonary vein.
In this particular a very different arrangement
prevails than that which governs the distribution
of the pulmonary artery and of the Bronchial tubes,
previous to their arriving at that stage of their progress,
in which the pedicels are given off. The arrange=
=ment of the pulmonary veins is cosmopolitan,
while that of the Bronchial tubes and prlmonary
artery is special and exclusive.
