Blood vessels are present in the lamina propria, superficial to the deeper layer where the vascular lacunae are located. Scale bar = 100μm;Several (viscero-motor) nerve bundles (asterisk) travel in the connective tissue interspersed among the vascular lacunae of the trachea of the bottlenose dolphin.
