The Structure and Mode of Innervation of Capillary Blood-Vessels: The Development of the Cardiac Innervation in Man

Abstract

Current descriptions of the innervation of blood capillaries -or rather, descriptions of the nerves which accompany such vessels- omit to describe the mode of termination of the nerves. On the other hand, if Krogh's view may be regarded as the accepted view of the mechanism subserving capillary function, the description of the effective apparatus of constriction pays little if any regard to the nervous system. The existence of this hiatus would be sufficient justification for reopening the question of capillary structure even in the absence of Babyliss's reminder that a capillary blood vessel as a distinct anatomical structure in still awaiting definition. The present investigation was undertaken to clear up these matters, if that might be done, for the ogan of definitive circulation is not of secondary importance even to those larger and better known structures which furnish it with its reserves of blood.
