Structure of Microvascular Networks in the Lungs and Peculiarities of Blood Circulation in Them

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Microvessels and their relationship with alveoli in the lungs of albino rats under physiological condition in the thorax were studied by intravital microscopy. The structure of a network of large microvessels 20–30 μ in diameter surrounding each alveolus along the perimeter from all sides was demonstrated. Blood flow was investigated by video.
