Popis:	Introduction PHYSIOLOGICAL efficiency of respiration depends on an efficient pulmonary arterial blood supply. In a respiratory system in which all other factors may be assumed to be normal, the efficiency of respiration is directly proportionate to the efficiency of the pulmonary arterial circulation. So, it becomes of paramount importance to know how disease and the collapse measures employed in the therapeutic management of tuberculosis affect the circulation. Descriptions of the pulmonary circulation in diseased and in collapsed lungs are based largely on the gross and microscopic tissue changes observed at postmortem and, occasionally, in tissue removed surgically. Differentiation by observation between the finer branches of the pulmonary and bronchial arteries is often difficult or impossible. Roentgenography of lungs in which the pulmonary arterial circulation has been injected with radiopaque material offers a method of visualization of vascular alterations. Method The thoracic contents were remove...
