LUNGS. 



r 



Two pulmonary lobnles a a, with the air-cells 6 b, 

 and the terminations of the bronchi c c ; from an infant 

 newly born. 



Magnified 25 diameters. 



the outlines of which in adults are also 

 principally mapped out by lines of pigment.

Outer surface of the lung of a cow, the air-cells, of 

 which are inj ected with wax : a, a, a, air-cells ; 6, b, 

 boundaries of the (primary) lobules. 



Magnified 30 diameters. 



The tabular structure of the lungs is best 

 shown in the lungs of foetal animals in- 

 jected from the trachea or bronchi. 



The capillaries of the lungs are extremely 

 minute and very difficult to inject fully; 

 and the finest injection is required for the 

 purpose. 



The capillaries may often be well seen 

 in thin sections of the inflated and dried 

 organs. The altered structure of eniphyse- 



matous lungs may also be best shown by 

 this method.

 portion, where the walls of several air-cells are con- 

 fluent ; c, thinner walls of several air-cells. 

 Magnified 350 diameters.
