Abstract
SummaryThe capacity of the terminal vascular bed as an indicator of the capillary density in heart and skeletal muscles of the rabbit and the dog was investigated. Tissue samples were taken from two regions of the heart muscle (apex and septum) and from two different skeletal muscles (gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis). The capillary density in heart muscle was higher in the rabbit than in the dog. On the other hand, the capillary density of skeletal muscle was greater in the dog. All differences were statistically significant (p<0.001). Factors influencing capillary growth are discussed.
