✦ Synopsis

FOUR FIGURES

Much of the experimental surgery in the cardiopulmonary field is presently performed on dogs, and observations are frequently reported based on the correlation of structures in man and dog. Accordingly, it was felt that a comparative anatomical study between canine and human bronchopulmonary segments would be useful both in standardizing nomenclature in the dog and in pointing out anatomical findings which hitherto have been little mentioned in the literature. These observations are based on both gross dissections and anatomical corrosion specimens with particular reference to the latter.

The heart and lungs of 15 normal adult dogs were injected with colored vinylite and the tissue corroded in sulfuric acid. The injections varied from triple injections of the trachea, pulmonary veins, and arteries to injections of a single system. The technique used is described in detail by Tucker and Krervicntz ('56) in an accompanying article.
