Heterogeneity of capillary diameters in skeletal muscle of the frog
Abstract
Capillary diameters in sartorius muscle of frogs were measured in vivo by means of a new computer video method, based on the passage of red blood cells (RBCs) through the capillary (C. Ellis, R. Sanfranyos, and A. Groom (1983), Microvasc. Res. 26, 139-150). The distribution of capillary diameters from 21 frogs was represented by a histogram with a mean +/- SD of 16.7 +/- 4.4 microns (N = 83). The measured dimensions (mean +/- SD) of frog RBCs, …
