The paravascular bed of the cardiac vessels has been studied in 128 human fetuses at the age of 3-9 lunar months. Anatomical and histological techniques have been used, morphometrical analysis has been carried out. The paravascular bed of the cardiac wall vessels begins to form from the vascular epicardial network and from the paraneural vessels in 5-month-old fetuses. The paravasal longitudinal tracts are the first to form (the venous ones preceed the arterial). During the seventh month the nutritive vessels and the intramural networks of the main cardiac arteries and veins develop. The formation of the paraarterial bed is connected with the vascular diameter and with thickness of the arterial walls. Certain regularities in development of the venous paravascular bed are defined. By the beginning of the 8th month there are all main components of the paravascular bed of the cardiac vessels.

Evidence suggests that capsaicin-sensitive substance P (SP)-containing trigeminal ganglion neurons innervate the spiral modiolar artery (SMA), radiating arterioles, and the stria vascularis of the cochlea. Antidromic electrical or chemical stimulation of trigeminal sensory nerves results in neurogenic plasma extravasation in inner ear tissues. The primary aim of this study was to reveal the possible morphological basis of cochlear vascular changes mediated by capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves.

The fetal vascularisation of the most peripheral three generations of stem villi has been studied by means of semithin serial sectioning and scanning electron microscopy of vessel casts in 50 human term placentas. The vessel types have been classified according to the structure of the vessel walls. Stem villi with a diameter of 200-400 microns are characterized by one smaller artery and one small vein, some arterioles and venules and capillaries of the paravascular net.

Anatomical, histological, histochemical methods have been used to investigate the cardiac paravasal bed. The morphometrical data have been mathematically analyzed and the figures have been treated by the computer. The arterial paravasal bed is represented by the arterial tracts, their branches-- the feeding vessels and the intramural network system.

1. The effects of nerve stimulation and of the topical application of noradrenaline on arteries, capillaries and veins of the mesentery of the anaesthetized rat were examined by direct observation under a microscope. The distribution of adrenergic nerves to the vessels of the mesentery was studied using the fluorescence histochemical method.
