The distribution of the Bronchial arteries The Bronchial arteries accompany closely the Bronchial tubes in all their ramifications, being firmly bound down to them. They divide as the tubes themselves divide, but become more numerous, and give off branches, which ramify in the different layers of the sub-pleural cellular tissue - The Bronchial arteries also freely supply the fibro-cartilaginous structure of the Bronchial tubes and the fibrous structure also where the cartilages are absent, with a free rami= =fication of fine vessels, and some of these extend in the form of exceedingly minute capillaries into the tissue of the mucous mem= =brane, which lines them. These are exceed= =ingly minute and they occupy a distinct and independent course making the anas= =tomosis with the proper vascular plexus in connection with the pulmonary plexus, which is spread over the mucous membrane - <s>some very fine vessels extend however<\s> The mucous membrane requires a supply of vessels for the repairs of its tissue in common with that of the remainder of the lungs - and
