Then they lose even the Jast thin layer “of muscle and become microscopic channels surrounding the tissue cells, mere spaces between the fihres or cells of the organ or tissue, and these channels or spaces are called capillaries. The capillaries are, say 1-3000 inch in diameter, which makes the capillaries a rather snug fit for the red blood corpuscles to mean- der through since the corpuscles have & diameter of 1-3200 ilnch,and still more s for the white corpuscles, for ‘ v have a diameter of 1.2500 inch, but the white corpuscles have the The mal whick and trolled the of arteries bhout is con- | in | the | BRADY, M.

Press gently upon the finger tip with a glass and the blood is driven out of the | capillaries. An instrument based on that observation measures the capil- lary blood pressure. which in the finger tips is nearly half the pressure in the arteries. Of course the capillaries have no muscular coat and hence no power to contract, sugh as the arteries and arterioles have. They have only elas ticity, but no tone. The blood passes through the capillaries very slowly, lingering there longer than in all the rest of the circulation. and the capil- laries average only 1-30 of an inch in length | "In the capiiaries | business of flush of vour the important the circulation is trans- acted.
