The Blood Supply to Nerves

  • Chapter
Structure and Function of the Circulation

  • 93 Accesses

Abstract

By the turn of the 19th century, the gross morphological features of blood vessels to nerves had been recognized and attention had been drawn to their functional significance. Since detailed reviews in regard to this period are available (Adams, 1942; Blunt, 1957), only a brief introductory sketch is presented here in order to set a background to more recent information and interpretations that follow.
