(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of NairobiDepartment of Biological Sciences, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15282, U.S.A.Department of Anatomy, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, California 95616, U.S.A., 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. ... -
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 1. The domestic fowl (Gallus gallus variant domesticus).
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 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 ... -
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 2. The wild mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and graylag goose (Anser anser).
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1982)The lungs of 5 wild mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) and 5 feral graylag geese (Anser anser) of mean body weight 1.04 and 3.84 kg, respectively, were fixed in situ by intratracheal infusion of 2.3% glutaraldehyde, pH 7.4 ... -
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 3. The structural design of the passerine lung
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1984)The lungs of 46 adult, wild passerine birds belonging to 8 species have been analysed morphometrically, both by light and electron microscope. Volumes were estimated by point counting, surface areas by intersection counting, ... -
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 4. The structural design of the charadriiform lung
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1987)The lungs of five charadriiform species of bird, two of which are good divers and three predominantly flyers (soarers and gliders) have been analysed by morphometric techniques. Largely the morphometric structural values ... -
Morphometries of the avian lung: The structural-functional correlations in the design of the lungs of birds
(ScienceDirectDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1993)1. Birds present remarkably variable pulmonary morphometric characteristics which closely correspond with factors such as phylogeny, body size, mode of life and habitat. These factors determine the oxygen demands, energetics ... -
Morphometry and allometry of the postnatal lung development in the quokka wallaby (< i> Setonix brachyurus</i>): a light microscopic study
(University of Nairobi,college of agriculture and veterinary sciences,, 2003)The postnatally developing lungs of the quokka wallaby, Setonix brachyurus, were investigated macroscopically and by light microscopic morphometry. Lung, parenchymal and non-parenchymal volumes as well as the components ... -
Morphometry and allometry of the postnatal marsupial lung development: an ultrastructural study
(ScienceDirectInstitute of Anatomy, University of Berne, Buehlstrasse 26, CH-3000 Bern 9, SwitzerlandDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi,, 2003)An utrastructural morphometric study of the postnatally remodelling lungs of the quokka wallaby (Setonix brachyurus) was undertaken. Allometric scaling of the volumes of the parenchymal components against body mass was ... -
Morphometry of some structural parameters affecting oxgyen diffusion in body trunk red muscle at different sizes of a tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy, 1994)Morphometric measurements were carried out on some of the structural parameters affecting oxygen diffusing capacity in red muscle of 15 specimens of O. niloticus body weight (b.w.) 0.65–812.3 g. Total capillary length and ... -

The Morphometry of the Lung of the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus): Its Structural--Functional Correlations
(Department of Animal Physiology, University of Nairobi,Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1985)The lung of the African lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus has been investigated by morphometric techniques. The volume of the lung was strongly correlated with body mass. The exchange tissue made up about 50% of the lung. ... -
