Possible Vascular Regulatory Mechanisms in the Mucous Membrane of the Upper Respiratory Tract

Abstract

These regulations take place, above all, in the vascular system and are caused by vegetative-nervous irritations. The principle of regulation in which the arteriovenous anastomoses, being controlled by the nervous system, are considered as effectors is explained. In this connection hypoxia of tissue, together with the infiltration of lymphocytes and plasmacells, play an important part.
