title: [Features of the structure of arteries of the lower extremities in man].
abstract: A comparative investigation has been performed on structural peculiarities of muscle arteries having various caliber in the lower extremities and in the anterior thoracic wall (section material, 40 observations). An essential predominance of the muscle tunic thickness and deterioration of blood supply has been stated in the arterial wall and in the distal parts of the lower extremities. The structural peculiarities revealed in the arteries of the extremities are connected with functional conditions of blood supply in the zone at the vertical position of the human body (orthostatic arterial hypertension).
