[Dimensions and alveolar surface of the ineralveolar septa of the rat lung].
The dimensions of the alveolar surface of interalveolar septa were studied in albino rats. The mean thickness of certain septa range from 3,1 to 6,2 mu, the mean thickness of the septa in different individuals being factually the same. A part of the alveolar surface of the septa represents the air-haematic barrier which occupies 51-64% of the total alveolar surface in different rats. The mean values of all the parameters in the animals studied are very close. It shows that the interalveolar septa are standard structures in their organization and dimensions both in the same animal and in different animals of the same species.
