Surface specialization of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the chicken, and their overt roles in pectineal haemodynamics and nutrient transfer to the inner neural retina
(Univesity of Nairobi, 1997)
The structure of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the domestic fowl was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy results demonstrated the existence of a ...
Histological Reactions to Bites of Amblyomma variagatum and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Acari: Ixodidae) Fed Simultaneously on Naive or Sensitized Rabbits
(Entomological Society of America, 1990)
Histopathological studies on attachment sites of nymphs, 48 h after attachment on three groups of rabbits, have revealed differences that were related to the rabbits'previous tick experience. Feeding lesions caused by ...
A stereological comparison of villous and microvillous surfaces in small intestines of frugivorous and entomophagous bats: species, inter-individual and craniocaudal differences
(1997)
The extents of functional surfaces (villi, microvilli) have
been estimated at different longitudinal sites, and in the
entire small intestine, for three species of bats belonging to
two feeding groups: insect- and ...
Respiratory Physiology of the Lake Magadi Tilapia (Oreochromis alcalicus grahami), a Fish Adapted to a Hot, Alkaline, and Frequently Hypoxic Environment
(The University of Chicago Press, 1996)
The tilapia Oreochromis alcalicus grahami is a unique ureotelic teleost, the only
fish that lives in the alkaline hotsprings of Lake Magadi, Kenya. Physical condi-
tions and fish behavior were monitored in the Fish ...
Urea Production, Acid-base Regulation And Their Interactions In The Lake Magadi Tilapia, A Unique Teleost Adapted To A Highly Alkaline Environment
(1994)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, thrives in highly alkaline
geothermal springs and pools surrounding Lake Magadi, Kenya (control pH=9.9,
CCO·=173mmoll21), has a functional hepatic ornithine–urea ...
Effects Of Ammonia On Survival, Swimming And Activities Of Enzymes Of Nitrogen Metabolism In The Lake Magadi Tilapia Oreochromis Alcalicus Grahami
(1993)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, is remarkable among
teleosts in that it flourishes under extremely well-buffered alkaline water conditions
(pH10, CCO· 180mmol l21) at temperatures of 30–40°C (Wood ...
A morphological and morphometric study of the prosimian lung: the lesser bushbaby Galago senegalensis.
(1990)
Among mammals, it is only in the order Primate that the extant members in fair
measure present graded features approximating to the stages of the evolution from the
early ancestral (prosimian) primates through to anthropoid ...
Stereological methods for estimating the functional surfaces of the chiropteran small intestine.
(1995)
A tissue sampling protocol has been devised for studying the functional surfaces of chiropteran small
intestine and drawing comparisons within and between species. The goal was to obtain minimally biased
stereological ...
