Of the Arteries in general, N artery is a conical tube or canal, which Arteryconveys th^blood from the heart to all f^^bed*parts of the body : it is compofed of threemembranes or coats; the external and inter-tiil are membranous, but the middle coat israther mufcular, confifting of circular oripiral fibres. Thefe fibres being very elaftic,contracl themfelves with feme force, whenthe povver ceafes by which they have beenftretched out. The external Coat ferves tonourifh the interior membranes, and the in-ternal coat or membrane keeps the bloodwithin its proper channels. The pulfe ofthe arteries confifts of two reciprocal mo-tions, like the pulfes of the heart, being afyilole and a diaitole, keeping oppofite times,the fyflole of the one anfwering to the dia-ilole of the other. The principal arteries of the human bodyare (ftridlly fpeaking) only two, viz. theaorta vel arteria magna, and the arteria pul-monalis : all the other arteries of the body,though diil
