Topographical factors represent one of the major determinants of the hydrodynamic events in the microcirculation. The application of established stereologic techniques was an efficient and accurate way to obtain quantitative information concerning the various microvascular structures. The omentum and mesentery were analyzed as typical 2-dimensional units by such morphometric techniques, and the rat spinotrapezius and cat tenuissimus muscles were analyzed as examples of 3-dimensional structures. In the cat mesentery, in addition to an analysis of the blood vessels, a study was made of the accompanying lymphatic vessels. The vascular morphometric data were classified on the basis of vessel diameter and length density, from which a number of important morphological parameters could be calculated. A remarkable similarity was indicated in morphometric features of the microcirculation in these different tissues of healthy laboratory animals.
