The thickness of avian blood-gas barrier: qualitative and quantitative observations.
(1982)
Gas exchange in the avian lung takes place across a blood-gas barrier formed, as
in other air-breathing vertebrates, by three essential components, an epithelial cell,
a basal lamina, and an endothelial cell. The thickness ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 2. The wild mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and graylag goose (Anser anser).
(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 ...
A morphometric analysis of the lung of a species of bat.
(1982)
The lungs of five adult Epauleted Fruit-bats (Epomophorus wahlbergi) of mean body weight 96 g were analysed morphometrically. The lung volume per unit body weight was 0.043 cm3/g, the surface area of the tissue barrier ...
The lung of the emu, Dromaius novaehollandiae: a microscopic and morphometric study
(1989)
The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the only extant member of the family
Dromaiidae and is the most widespread of Australian flightless birds (Cameron &
Harrison, 1978). After the African ostrich (Struthio camelus), ...
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 ...
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 structural functional correlation in the design of the bat lung. A morphometric study
(1984)
The lungs of five species of bat Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Miniopterus minor (Peters), Tadarida mops (De Blainville), Cynopterus brachyotis (Muller) and Cheiromeles torquatus (Horstield) have been analysed by morphometric ...
