Morphometry and allometry of the postnatal lung development in the quokka wallaby (< i> Setonix brachyurus</i>): a light microscopic study
(University of Nairobi,, 2003)
The postnatally developing lungs of the quokka wallaby, Setonix brachyurus, were investigated macroscopically and by light microscopic morphometry. Lung, parenchymal and non-parenchymal volumes as well as the components ...
Morphometry and allometry of the postnatal marsupial lung development: an ultrastructural study
(ScienceDirect, 2003)
An utrastructural morphometric study of the postnatally remodelling lungs of the quokka wallaby (Setonix brachyurus) was undertaken. Allometric scaling of the volumes of the parenchymal components against body mass was ...
Gut Morphology And Morphometry In The Epauletted Wahlberg™ S Fruit Bat (Epomophorus Wahlbergi, Sundevall, 1846)
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2005-07)
The morphological adaptations of the fruit bat small intestine to which the high functional efficiency could be related and the possible landmarks delineating the various parts of the gut were examined. The stomach was the ...
Intussusceptive angiogenesis and its role in vascular morphogenesis, patterning, and remodeling
(Springer Netherlands, 2009)
New blood vessels arise initially as blood islands in the process known as vasculogenesis or as new capillary segments produced through angiogenesis. Angiogenesis itself encompasses two broad processes, namely sprouting ...
Development and spatial organization of the air conduits in the lung of the domestic fowl, Gallus gallus variant domesticus.
(University of Nairobi,, 2008-09)
We employed macroscopic and ultrastructural techniques as well as intratracheal casting methods to investigate the pattern of development, categories, and arrangement of the air conduits in the chicken lung. The secondary ...

Effects of Neonatal High-Dose Short-Term Glucocorticoid Treatment on the Lung: A Morphologic and Morphometric Study in the Rat
(2003)
Glucocorticoids are often applied in neonatology and perinatology to fight the problems of respiratory distress and chronic lung disease. There are, however, many controversies regarding the adverse side effects and long-term ...
Current Stereological Methods and Tools for Simple Quantification of Biological Structure: A short Review
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2004)
A statement like “the cells were more numerous” conveys little meaning unless numbers are attached to the observations. Fortunately, a set of general methods, known as stereology, may be used to quantify tissue structural ...
