Recent Advances into Understanding Some Aspects of the Structure and Function of Mammalian and Avian Lungs
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2010-09)
Recent findings are reported about certain aspects of the structure and function of the mammalian and avian lungs that include (a) the architecture of the air capillaries (ACs) and the blood capillaries (BCs); (b) the ...
The morphology of the lung of the African lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus
(Springer-Verlag, 1987)
The lung of the African lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus) is paired, long and cylindrical. It is situated on the dorsal aspect of the coelomic cavity ventral to the ribs. Much of the gas exchange tissue is found in the ...
A comparative allometric study of the morphometry of the gills of an alkalinity adapted cichlid fish,Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, of Lake Magadi, Kenya
(Springer, 1996)
A morphometric analysis of the gills ofOreochromis alcalicus grahami has been carried out on specimens from ecologically distinct lagoons and a water-holding tank of Lake Magadi, a highly alkaline salt lake situated in a ...
The morphology of the lung of a tropical terrestrial slug Trichotoxon copleyi (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata): A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(Wiley, 1989)
The lung of the slug Trichotoxon copleyi is located in the body mantle where it opens to the outside through an adjustable pneumostome situated on the right side. The respiratory surface of the lung is profusely vascularized ...
Light microscopic morphometry of the lung of 19 avian species.
(1982)
The lungs of 107 birds of 19 different species from seven orders were fixed in situ. The mean volumes of both fixed lungs together ranged from 0.15 to 95.31 cm3. Histological sections of one lung from each bird were analyzed ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 1. The domestic fowl (Gallus gallus variant domesticus).
(1982)
The lungs of 5 domestic fowls have been analysed electron microscopically by standard morphometric methods. The anatomical diffusing capacity has been calculated from the relevant parameters. The blood-gas barrier consisted ...
The morphology of the lung of the East African tree frog Chiromantis petersi with observations on the skin and the buccal cavity as secondary gas exchange organs.
(1989)
The class Amphibia consists of three distinct Orders, the Anura - the tailless
amphibians; the Urodela - the tailed amphibians, and the Apoda - the snake-like
amphibians also called caecilians. The anurans inhabit both ...
An allometric study of pulmonary morphometric parameters in birds, with mammalian comparisons
(1989)
Comprehensive pulmonary morphometric data from 42 species of birds representing ten orders were compared with those of other vertebrates, especially mammals, relating the comparisons to the varying biological needs of these ...
A Morphometric Study of the Lungs of Different Sized Bats: Correlations between Structure and Function of the Chiropteran Lung
(1991)
The lungs of four species of bats, Phyllostomus hastatus (PH, mean body mass, 98 g), Pteropus lylei (PL,
456 g), Pteropus alecto (PA, 667 g), and Pteropus poliocephalus (PP, 928 g) were analysed by morphometric
methods. ...
