...Michelle C. Mazzoni; Thomas C. Skalak; Geert W. Schmid-Schönbein Lymphatic valves assure the forward propulsion of fluid along the lymphatic vessels. A description of valve function in skeletal muscle must be based on a knowledge of the valve morphology. To this end, histological sections of valves...

...N.J. Edmunds; Janice M. Marshall Indirect evidence suggests that dilatation evoked by systemic hypoxia in proximal and terminal arterioles of skeletal muscle is mediated by adenosine acting on A 1 receptors, but that the dilatation of proximal arterioles requires the presence of nitric oxide...

...C.J. Kelsall; M.D. Brown; O.
