Genetic structure of Lake Magadi tilapia populations
(Wiley, 2000)
The control region of the mitochondrial DNA haplotype frequencies were significantly different among the two separate lagoon populations of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami in Lake Magadi and of O. a. alcalicus from lake ...
Comparative in vitro study of interactions between particles and respiratory surface macrophages, erythrocytes, and epithelial cells of the chicken and the rat
(2008)
In mammals, surface macrophages (SMs) play a foremost role in protecting the respiratory system by engulfing and
destroying inhaled pathogens and harmful particulates. However, in birds, the direct defense role(s) that ...
Comparative respiratory morphology: Themes and principles in the design and construction of the gas exchangers
(University of Nairobi, 2000-02)
Along the evolutionary continuum, a kaleidoscope of gas exchangers has evolved from the simple cell membrane of the primeval unicells. The most momentous events in this process were: the intensification of molecular oxygen ...
A 3D digital reconstruction of the components of the gas exchange tissue of the lung of the muscovy duck, Cairina moschata
(Wiley, 2005)
To elucidate the shape, size, and spatial arrangement and association of the terminal respiratory units of the avian lung, a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided voxel reconstruction was generated from serial plastic ...
