Morphometrics of the avian lung. 3. The structural design of the passerine lung
(1984)
The lungs of 46 adult, wild passerine birds belonging to 8 species have been analysed morphometrically, both by light and electron microscope. Volumes were estimated by point counting, surface areas by intersection counting, ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 2. The wild mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and graylag goose (Anser anser).
(1982)
The lungs of 5 wild mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) and 5 feral graylag geese (Anser anser) of mean body weight 1.04 and 3.84 kg, respectively, were fixed in situ by intratracheal infusion of 2.3% glutaraldehyde, pH 7.4 ...
A scanning electron microscopic study of the air and blood capillaries of the lung of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus)
(Birkhäuser-Verlag, 1982)
Air and blood capillaries of the lung of the domestic fowl constitute the functional gas exchange units. They anastomose profusely and interlace with each other in 3 dimensions. Air capillaries are not blind-ending tubules ...
A morphometric analysis of the lung of a species of bat.
(1982)
The lungs of five adult Epauleted Fruit-bats (Epomophorus wahlbergi) of mean body weight 96 g were analysed morphometrically. The lung volume per unit body weight was 0.043 cm3/g, the surface area of the tissue barrier ...
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 4. The structural design of the charadriiform lung
(1987)
The lungs of five charadriiform species of bird, two of which are good divers and three predominantly flyers (soarers and gliders) have been analysed by morphometric techniques. Largely the morphometric structural values ...
Scanning electron microscope study of the morphology of the reptilian lung: the Savanna monitor lizard Varanus exanthematicus and the pancake tortoise Malacochersus tornieri.
(1989)
The morphology of the lungs of two reptilian species, Varanus exanthematicus and Malacochersus tornieri, have been studied on gross preparations, latex casts, and critical-point-dried tissues. The shape of these lungs was ...
The design and the role of the nasal passages in temperature regulation in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii) with observations on the carotid rete.
(1984-05)
xhaled air temperatures (Tex) and rectal temperatures (Trec) were measured in five dik-dik antelopes under controlled environmental temperatures (Ta) between 15 and 40 degrees C. In addition morphometric analysis of the ...
The morphology of the respiratory organs of the African air-breathing catfish (Clarias mossambicus): A light, electron and scanning microscopic study, with morphometric observations
(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 ...
The morphology of the lung of a tropical terrestrial slug Trichotoxon copleyi (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata): A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(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 ...
