Segments from the median nerve were removed from the distal fourth of the right forearm and the carpal tunnel area of 23 embalmed human cadavers (12 men, 11 women) to evaluate the proliferation of the intraneural connective tissue and its intrinsic vasculature. The findings suggest that: (1) The proliferative increase of the intraneural connective tissue, primarily, the epineurial layers, is a localized characteristic of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel; (2) this increase in a normal occurrence in males and females; and (3) thicker-walled arterioles and venules are common in the highly dense epineurial tissue; this condition, regarded as an adjunct protective feature, could oppose increased intratunnel pressure and lessen the chances of vascular collapse.
从23具防腐处理的人体尸体（12名男性，11名女性）的右前臂远端四分之一和腕管区域取出正中神经节段，以评估神经内结缔组织及其固有血管系统的增殖情况。研究结果表明：（1）神经内结缔组织（主要是神经外膜层）的增殖性增加是腕管内正中神经的局部特征；（2）这种增加在男性和女性中均为正常现象；（3）在高度致密的神经外膜组织中，壁厚较厚的小动脉和小静脉很常见；这种情况被视为一种辅助保护特征，可以抵抗隧道内压力的增加并减少血管塌陷的可能性。
