| Abstract: | 1. Evidence is presented which indicates that pulmonary megakaryocytesdo not originate in the lungs but elsewhere in the body and are carried tothe lungs in the venous blood.2. Some megakaryocytes in the lungs evidently deliver platelets to theblood.3. Surgery is a potent stimulus to megakaryocyte production; the numbersof megakaryocytes found in the lung postoperatively is significantly increased.
