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 ...
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 spatial organization of the air and blood conducting components of the avian lung (Gallus gallus variant domesticus)
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
The lungs of the domestic fowl were prepared for scanning electron microscopy after vascular and airway latex rubber casting to demonstrate the spatial organization of the various structural components that are involved ...
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. ...
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 ...
