Part of the book series: Vascular Biomedicine ((VB))

  • 84 Accesses

Abstract

The mechanisms for the growth of existing resistance vessels are not completely understood. However, three of the histomechanical laws formulated by Thoma in 1896 are applicable: (1) the increase in the size of the lumen of a vessel depends on the rate of blood flow, (2) growth in thickness of the vessel wall depends on its tension, and (3) the change in the length of a vessel is dependent on the tension exerted in the longitudinal direction by tissues reported an increased expression of fibroblast growth factors (FGF) in rabbit skeletal muscle subjected to chronic motor nerve stimulation, a model of exercise conditioning known to exhibit vascular growth. FGFs must be transported out of the skeletal muscle cells to initiate angiogenesis, but there is presently no evidence of this. FGFs are thought to be sequestered inside the cells of origin.

Article Footnote

“Blood vessels are, of course, organs.In this instance the pri mary tissue is endothelium. All else is auxiliary tissue, which,in vessels larger than capillaries, becomes added so as to provide support, resistance, flexibility, elasticity or contractility” (L. B. Arey, 1963).1
