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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
