## Abstract The major function of the lung is gas exchange and depends on alveolar and capillary parameters such as surface area and volume. The number of alveoli may report on the nature of structural changes in lung parenchyma during development, illness or changing environmental factors. We ther
The number and volume of pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) of 1-and 4-week-old hamsters were estimated using unbiased stereological principles and systematic sampling techniques. For comparative purposes, volume estimations were also made in the carotid body, the parathyroid gland, and the adr
Using a stereological method, the optical disector, we examined three inbred strains of mice (NZB/BINJ, DBA/2, and C57BL/6J) for morphological differences in volume, neuronal number, and density of the pyramidal cell and dentate gyrus granule cell layers of the hippocampus. We found significant diff
## Abstract The cytoarchitecture of the brain is disrupted severely in reeler mice. This is caused by a deficiency in the protein, Reelin, which is essential for the normal migration and positioning of neurons during development. Although cell migration is clearly affected by the reeler mutation, i
