Abstract
Details are given of a method of processing fragments of human large arteries by proteolytic enzymes (protoryzin, trypsin) in order to reveal the fibrous skeleton of the vessel wall. A scanning electron-microscopic study of preparations obtained by this method reveals the arrangement and spatial relations of the connective-tissue bundles and fibers in the various layers of the vessel wall.
