The Influence of Muscle Blood-flow on the Circulation in Bones

  • Chapter

Abstract

Heald (1951) and Cecchi and Fiumicelli (1952) drew attention to the importance of the osseomuscular circulation. Examination of bone and muscle blood-flow using the heated thermocouple technique (Shaw, 1963) showed that studies could be carried out under physiologically normal conditions providing that careful dissection was performed. Studies on different tissues in the same limb were also shown to be possible and the dependence of blood-flow in one tissue on the blood-flow in another could be investigated. The present studies have been designed to examine the relation between the circulation in bone and in the overlying muscle.
