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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Oxygen uptake and blood respiratory properties of the caecilian Boulengerula taitanus.
(1975-09)
In contrast to amphibians belonging to the orders Urodela and Anura, virtually no data exist on the respiratory physiology of the more primitive Apoda. This study concerns oxygen uptake and hemoglobin function in the ...
