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. 3. The structural design of the passerine lung
(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. 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 scanning electron microscopic study of the air and blood capillaries of the lung of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus)
(Birkhäuser-Verlag, 1982)
Air and blood capillaries of the lung of the domestic fowl constitute the functional gas exchange units. They anastomose profusely and interlace with each other in 3 dimensions. Air capillaries are not blind-ending tubules ...
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 ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 4. The structural design of the charadriiform lung
(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 ...
The morphology of the lung of the black mamba Dendroaspis polylepis (Reptilia: Ophidia: Elapidae). A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(1989)
The lung of a snake, the black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis), has been investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. This species has only one lung, the right, which is long and occupies most of the ...
The morphology of the lung of the black mamba Dendroaspis polylepis (Reptilia: Ophidia: Elapidae). A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(1989)
The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) belongs to the family Elapidae that also
includes the cobras, kraits and coral snakes. Generally, these snakes are extremely
venomous and occur in the warmer parts of the world ...
Scanning electron microscope study of the morphology of the reptilian lung: the Savanna monitor lizard Varanus exanthematicus and the pancake tortoise Malacochersus tornieri.
(1989)
The morphology of the lungs of two reptilian species, Varanus exanthematicus and Malacochersus tornieri, have been studied on gross preparations, latex casts, and critical-point-dried tissues. The shape of these lungs was ...
