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 ...
A Morphometric Study of the Lungs of Different Sized Bats: Correlations between Structure and Function of the Chiropteran Lung
(1991)
The lungs of four species of bats, Phyllostomus hastatus (PH, mean body mass, 98 g), Pteropus lylei (PL,
456 g), Pteropus alecto (PA, 667 g), and Pteropus poliocephalus (PP, 928 g) were analysed by morphometric
methods. ...
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 ...
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 ...
A 3D digital reconstruction of the components of the gas exchange tissue of the lung of the muscovy duck, Cairina moschata
(Wiley, 2005)
To elucidate the shape, size, and spatial arrangement and association of the terminal respiratory units of the avian lung, a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided voxel reconstruction was generated from serial plastic ...
Urea Production, Acid-base Regulation And Their Interactions In The Lake Magadi Tilapia, A Unique Teleost Adapted To A Highly Alkaline Environment
(1994)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, thrives in highly alkaline
geothermal springs and pools surrounding Lake Magadi, Kenya (control pH=9.9,
CCO·=173mmoll21), has a functional hepatic ornithine–urea ...
Effects Of Ammonia On Survival, Swimming And Activities Of Enzymes Of Nitrogen Metabolism In The Lake Magadi Tilapia Oreochromis Alcalicus Grahami
(1993)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, is remarkable among
teleosts in that it flourishes under extremely well-buffered alkaline water conditions
(pH10, CCO· 180mmol l21) at temperatures of 30–40°C (Wood ...
