Studies on density of capillary network in the course of nerves in the white rat.
Density of capillary network was examined in the course of nerves of frontal and rear extremities in the white rat, in various portions of the nerves. At the same levels, number of nervous fibers per mm2 of the area was scored as well as diameters of myelinated fibers was recorded in proximal and distal fragments of chosen nerves. Decreased density of capillary network was detected in peripheral portions of the nerves, which was paralleled by an increase in number of myelinated fibers and a decrease in their diameter.
