On wounds of arteries, and the means adopted by nature and art for
the suppression of hemorrhage; their structure; ancient three coats
separated into six-1, the epithelial; 2, fenestrated; 8, muscular;
4, elastic; 5, elastic and areolar combined; 6, areolar. Nature of
epithelium; divided into three kinds--tesselated, cylindrical, and
spheroidal. Structure of epithelial (1) and of fenestrated coat (2);
structure of muscular (3) and elastic coat (4); structure of elastic
and areolar coats (5 and 6). Chemical composition, protein. Voluntary
and involuntary muscular fibers; difference between them. Muscular
fibers in arteries involuntary. White inelastic and elastic yellow
fibers in outer coat. Blood-vessels of arteries; nerves of. Production
of cells, nuclei, and nucleoli. Cyto-blastema or formative substance.
