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 ...
The Morphometry of the Lung of the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus): Its Structural--Functional Correlations
(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. ...
A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study of the bat lung
(Wiley, 1985)
The lungs of two adult species of bat Epomophorus wahlbergi and Miniopterus minor fixed with 2.3% glutaraldehyde were processed for SEM (scanning electron microscope) and TEM (transmission electron microscope) examination ...
Morphology and morphometry of the normal lung of the adult vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops)
(Wiley, 1988)
The lungs of four adult specimens of the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) have been examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. A morphometric evaluation of the structural components directly involved ...
