statement that the vessels distributed on the
surface of the bronchia being chiefly to the
pulmonary system, but the complete absence
of anastomosis between the pulmonary and
bronchial capillaries rests solely on the negative
result of the author’s injections, which are directly
opposed to the positive statements of many high
authorities, according to whom the bronchial
arteries and veins can be injected from the
pulmonary veins and vice versa.
Lastly, the author describes the terminal
bronchial tubes as splitting up into certain minute
branches, which, as he considers the description
to be an original one, he terms “pedicels” P27.28.
He does not allude to the so called intercellular
passages, and to me the distinction is not
clear between them and what the author
terms “pedicels”.
