The morphology of the lung of the African lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus
(Springer-Verlag, 1987)
The lung of the African lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus) is paired, long and cylindrical. It is situated on the dorsal aspect of the coelomic cavity ventral to the ribs. Much of the gas exchange tissue is found in the ...
The morphology of the lung of a tropical terrestrial slug Trichotoxon copleyi (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata): A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(Wiley, 1989)
The lung of the slug Trichotoxon copleyi is located in the body mantle where it opens to the outside through an adjustable pneumostome situated on the right side. The respiratory surface of the lung is profusely vascularized ...
Light microscopic morphometry of the lung of 19 avian species.
(1982)
The lungs of 107 birds of 19 different species from seven orders were fixed in situ. The mean volumes of both fixed lungs together ranged from 0.15 to 95.31 cm3. Histological sections of one lung from each bird were analyzed ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 1. The domestic fowl (Gallus gallus variant domesticus).
(1982)
The lungs of 5 domestic fowls have been analysed electron microscopically by standard morphometric methods. The anatomical diffusing capacity has been calculated from the relevant parameters. The blood-gas barrier consisted ...
The morphology of the lung of the East African tree frog Chiromantis petersi with observations on the skin and the buccal cavity as secondary gas exchange organs.
(1989)
The class Amphibia consists of three distinct Orders, the Anura - the tailless
amphibians; the Urodela - the tailed amphibians, and the Apoda - the snake-like
amphibians also called caecilians. The anurans inhabit both ...
An allometric study of pulmonary morphometric parameters in birds, with mammalian comparisons
(1989)
Comprehensive pulmonary morphometric data from 42 species of birds representing ten orders were compared with those of other vertebrates, especially mammals, relating the comparisons to the varying biological needs of these ...
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 ...
