Abstract

In the lung, there is much anatomical diversity between species, which may affect how the animal responds to disease. To correlate animal studies to human disease, we need to understand what these differences are. These differences include the branching geometry of the airways, variations in breathing rate and depth, and the subgross architecture of the lungs. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the basic anatomical units of the lungs in a variety of mammalian species and discuss their functional significance.
