Morphometries of the avian lung: The structural-functional correlations in the design of the lungs of birds
(ScienceDirect, 1993)
1. Birds present remarkably variable pulmonary morphometric characteristics which closely correspond with factors such as phylogeny, body size, mode of life and habitat. These factors determine the oxygen demands, energetics ...
The morphology and morphometry of the adult normal baboon lung (Papio anubis).
(1987)
Numerous morphological studies on diverse aspects of the organisation of the
mammalian lung notably in respect to structure, development, response to irritants
and functional demands are currently available. Some of the ...
Scanning and transmission electron microscopic study of the tracheal air sac system in a grasshopper Chrotogonus senegalensis (Kraus)—Orthoptera: Acrididae: Pyrogomorphinae
(Wiley, 1989)
The morphology of the trachea-air sac system in a species of grasshopper Chrotogonus senegalensis has been studied by using scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Capacious air sacs were formed as dilatations along ...
The morphology of the intestine of the insectivorous horseshoe bat {Rhinolophus hildebrandti, Peters): a scanning electron and light microscopic study
(Wiley, 1994)
The gastrointestinal tract of the horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus hildebrandti (Peters), was studied macroscopically, with the light microscope and with the scanning electron microscope. Macroscopically, the stomach was of the ...
A morphometric analysis of chloride cells in the gills of the teleosts Oreochromis alcalicus and Oreochromis niloticus and a description of presumptive urea-excreting
(1991)
The chloride cells of the teleost gills have structurally and functionally been an
extremely intriguing group of cells. Since they were first described by Keys & Willmer
(1932), the biology of these cells has attracted ...
A study of the morphology of the gills of an extreme alkalinity and hyperosmotic adapted teleost Oreochromis alcalicus grahami (Boulenger) with particular emphasis …
(Springer-Verlag, 1990)
The general gill morphology of Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, a teleost adapted to high salinity and hyperosmosis, is basically similar to that of other teleostean fish. The species has four pairs of gill arches, all of ...
Alteration in vomeronasal system anatomy in alcelaphine antelopes: Correlation with alteration in chemosensory investigation
(ScienceDirect, 1988)
Ruminants typically have an incisive papilla and incisive ducts located on the hard palate just behind the dental pad which are involved in transferring fluid-borne stimulus material from the oral cavity to the vomeronasal ...
What it takes to fly: the structural and functional respiratory refinements in birds and bats
(University of Nairobi, 2000-10)
In absolute terms, flight is a highly energetically expensive form of locomotion. However, with respect to its cost per unit distance covered, powered flight is a very efficient mode of transport. Birds and bats are the ...
The lung of the emu, Dromaius novaehollandiae: a microscopic and morphometric study
(1989)
The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the only extant member of the family
Dromaiidae and is the most widespread of Australian flightless birds (Cameron &
Harrison, 1978). After the African ostrich (Struthio camelus), ...
The morphology of the respiratory organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus): A light, electron and scanning microscopic study, with morphometric observations
(Wiley, 1986)
The morphology of the gas exchange organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus) (Peters) have been examined grossly, and by light, electron and scanning microscopes. The respiratory organs in Clarias ...
