title: Structure of microvascular networks in the lungs and peculiarities of blood circulation in them.
abstract: 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.
