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. ...
Water requirements of African goats and haired-sheep
(1971)
A number of species of desert- dwelling ungulates (e.g. Grant's gazelle and oryx) can apparently survive desert conditions without drinking. We were interested in finding out whether goats and sheep herded in the arid ...
A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study of the lung of a caecilian Boulengerula taitanus
(University of Nairobi, 2009-03)
The lung of an apodan amphibian Bouiengerula taitanus has been investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. This caecilian has only a single, long tubular lung that tapers towards the caudal end of the ...

Oxygen uptake and blood respiratory properties of the caecilian Boulengerula taitanus.
(1975-09)
In contrast to amphibians belonging to the orders Urodela and Anura, virtually no data exist on the respiratory physiology of the more primitive Apoda. This study concerns oxygen uptake and hemoglobin function in the ...
