Spatial and functional relationships between air conduits and blood capillaries in the pulmonary gas exchange tissue of adult and developing chickens
(2011)
The documented data regarding the three-dimensional structure of the air capillaries (ACs), the ultimate sites of gas exchange in the avian lung is contradictory. Further, the mode of gas exchange, described as cross-current ...
Parabronchial angioarchitecture in developing and adult chickens.
(University of Nairobi,, 2009)
The avian lung has a highly sophisticated morphology with a complex vascular system. Extant data regarding avian pulmonary angioarchitecture are few and contradictory. We used corrosion casting techniques, light microscopy, ...
Epithelial transformations in the establishment of the blood–gas barrier in the developing chick embryo lung
(Wiley, 2006)
The tall epithelium of the developing chick embryo lung is converted to a squamous one, which participates in formation of the thin blood–gas barrier. We show that this conversion occurred through processes resembling ...
Microvascular endowment in the developing chicken embryo lung
(The American Physiological Society, 2007)
In the current study, the contribution of the major angiogenic mechanisms, sprouting and intussusception, to vascular development in the avian lung has been demonstrated. Sprouting guides the emerging vessels to form the ...
