in no case has the pleura received any
capillary injection.
But regarding this statement in connection
with the previous one, it should, I conceive, be
shewn that when both the pulmonary and bronchial
vessels are injected in the same specimen, that
a system of vessels in the pleura are filled in
connection with the pulmonary vessels which
are placed superficially to those that are filled
directly from the bronchial arteries.
The author states that “The costal pleura
derives its supply of blood from the pulmonary
vessels” P.4.
He says “About eight or ten arteries of
considerable size derived from the pulmonary artery
and about twelve or sixteen corresponding veins
of some magnitude cross behind that fold of the
pleura (which sometimes goes by the name of the
broad ligament) to reach the thoracic pleura and
to become distributed on it” P.4.
