Page 55 - Like the walls of the smallest arteries and veins, the capillary wall consists of two distinct elements — the endothelial tube and the outside muscular coat. The important difference between capillaries and larger vessels lies in the arrangement of the muscles, which in the arteries and veins form a more or less continuous layer, greatly increasing the thickness of the wall and offering a considerable resistance against the exchange of substances between the blood and the surrounding lymph spaces...

Resting muscles observed in this way are usually quite pale and the microscope reveals only a few capillaries at fairly regular intervals. These capillaries are so narrow that red blood corpuscles can pass through only at a slow rate and with a change of form from the ordinary flat discs to elongated sausages. When the muscle under observation is stimulated to contractions a large...
