It has been described during maximal exercise. The condition is commoner in racehorses when it is associated with very high transmural capillary pressures (up to 40 mm Hg) [24]. By contrast to the epithelial cells, the endothelial cells that line alveolar capillaries are separated by clefts and by pores of diameter 12–15 nm. The pores open when the capillary is distended; in this circumstance a filtrate of plasma-containing albumen will pass into the interstitial space. On this account interstitial oedema will occur if the capillary intravascular pressure is increased or the plasma osmotic pressure is reduced.

The pulmonary artery divides into right and left pulmonary arteries and these in turn subdivide to provide up to eight generations of elastic-walled vessels of diameter more than 2 mm. 3 mm are small muscular pulmonary arteries; they run beside the airways that supply the parenchyma of the lung. Other vessels enter the periphery of the lung units where they provide a collateral circulation.
