The official nomenclature of the superficial veins of the lower limb: a case for revision.

Attention is called to the discrepancy which exists between the official terminology of the Nomina Anatomica (PNA) as it relates to the superficial venous system of the lower limb, and anatomical reality. Suggestions are also put forward as to how the PNA could be altered to accord better with the systematic classification and topography of these vessels, and more usefully serve the needs of clinicians.

Ultrastructural and morphometric investigations into the arterial wall of the genetically hypertensive rat.

A number of injurious agents, including "load-failure" of hemodynamic or metabolic origin, constitute "risk factors"for the wall of a blood vessel. We are here concerned with arterial hypertension, which is a primary risk factor for the production of atherosclerotic change. The SHR (spontaneously hypertensive rat) has been included among the more extensive series of experiments conducted by our research team (STAUBESAND et al.) as a particular model for the investigation of metabolic and hemodynamic "load-failure". The aims of the present contribution are to describe the morphological changes in the diseased vessel wall and to support these findings morphometrically.
