METHODSCats in a mass range of 1.5-2.6 kg were tranquilized with 1 mg/kg propiopromazine hydrochloride and anesthetized with 75 mg/kg of a-chlorolose. The sartorius muscle was surgically removed from the left hindlimb, with care being taken to preserve as many of the communicating blood vessels from the femoral artery and vein to the muscle as possible. The muscle was kept moist with Ringer solution throughout the dissection procedure. After isolation, the muscle was continuously perfused with blood from the femoral artery in the right hindlimb through 1.6 mm id polyethylene tubing as shown in Fig. 1. Arterial blood pressure was monitored in this circuit by a Statham pressure transducer. Venous outflow passed through a drop counter to monitor the gross flow rate, and the blood was then returned to the animal through the external jugular vein. Venous pressure was measured by a Statham pressure transducer connected to the venous circuit between the muscle and the drop counter. The venous pressure was maintained at about 14 mm Hg throughout the experi. ment. To insure good transillumination of the muscle, it was necessary to remove as much fascia from the surface of the muscle as possible. This was done with a cautery, with care taken to avoid heating or drying of the muscle during this procedure. The muscle was then mounted on a frame and placed on a heated microscope stage maintained at 37 C. The muscle was bathed with Ringer solution and covered with Saran wrap to prevent drying during the experiment. Muscle weight averaged 4.1 g in these experiments. The velocities of red cells in the capillaries were measured using the dual-slit photometric method described by Wayland and Johnson (21). The muscle mounted on the microscope stage was illuminated with a mercury-arc lamp, and the magnified image of the capillaries was projected onto a
