Abstract
A COMPLETE ultrastructural analysis of the phrenic nerve at a particular level is of interest in view of recent light and electron microscope observations which suggest that there are extensions of subarachnoid space along the length of peripheral nerves1–3. The present observations were made during the course of quantitative investigations on fibres and vessels in the phrenic nerve and on the tissues ensheathing them.
