The authors depicted some regularities in the interrelationships of capillaries and different types of neurons in the lateral horns of the spinal cord in rats. It was established that with an increase of the area of the profile field of the nervous cell there is an increase of the amount of capillaries, their total length and the area of the capillary channel in the zone of vascularization. However, the index of capillary-neuron relationships reveals a reverse dependency. The greatest amount of capillaries is stituated in the radius from 5--15 mum from the cell body. The capillaries form around the cell body structures of a different configuration.
