Comparative Anatomic Structures of Nonhuman Primate Lungs 2. Tracheobronchial Geometry and Lung Lobe Weight

영장동물폐(靈長動物肺)의 비교해부학적연구(比較解剖學的硏究) 2. 기관(氣管) 및 기관지(氣管枝)의 기하학적계측(幾何學的計測)과 폐중량(肺重量)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

Anatomical measurements were made at the necoropsy and sacrifice in a group of 41 adult female Rhesus monkey to determine the 34 characteristcs found in tracheas snd bronchus. Table 1, 2, 3, 4, and figure 1 were therefore prepared as a guide in the further use for illustrating monkey lung research. Summary of this report is as follows: 1. Accurate Knowledge of these measurements may have some value in pulmonary dissection and reconstructive procedures. 2. These studies may provide a more accurate determination of the monkey lungs. 3. The right and left bronchus length of the monkey is shorter than fornd in man. 4. The left bronchus length is more longer than the rrght bronchas. 5. There were large variation among the weight of adult female Rhesus monkey.
