Cutaneous plexus

In an anatomic study performed on rabbit limbs, Weinbaum et al. (1984) identified three vascular layers (deep, intermediate, and cutaneous) in the outer 1-cm tissue layer. Subsequently, three fundamental vascular structures were derived from the anatomic observation (1) an isolated vessel embedded in a tissue cylinder, as shown by the intermediate tissue layer, (2) a large artery and its countercurrent vein oriented obliquely to the skin surface, as shown in the deep tissue layer, and (3) a vessel or vessel pair running parallel to the skin surface in the cutaneous plexus. These three vascular structures served as the basic heat transfer units in the thermal equilibration analysis in Weinbaum et al. (1984).
