Diameter, length and branching angles of the upper airways in the dog lung.
Polyester resin casts were made of the upper airways of 15 dog lungs. Diameter, length, and branching angles were measured, and the dimensions were normalized by dividing by cube root of body weight. The data are presented to facilitate experimental work on dog lungs, involving procedures such as intubation of individual lobar bronchi.
