Abstract
Within the interstices of the cancellous bone of the vertebral bodies lie dense and complicated arterial networks (Fig. 5.1). To study these vessels in detail the vertebral bodies should be divided into thin slices (0.5 to 0.75 cm) in three planes. It will be found that entrant vessels are arranged in constant basic patterns within the vertebral bodies, with most of their branches destined to be focussed on the vertebral end-plate zones.
