A.ÁBRAHÁM MICROSCOPIC INNERVATION OP THE HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS IN VERTEBRATES INCLUDING MAN In the first part of the monograph the author discusses the structure and the microscopic innervation of the different layers of the heart wall in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and man. The heart receptors of the dog, fox, cat, horse, pig, sheep and cattle are treated in detail. The second part deals with the innervation of arteries, veins and capillaries. After the description of the baroreceptors of the aortic arch, carotid sinus, carotid arteries and of the pulmonary artery, the correlation between hypertension and baroreceptors, as well as the chemoreceptors of birds, mammals and man are discussed.
