Abstract

The br onchi including their distal airways and the pulmonary arteries were studied with special emphasis on their arborization in relation to the bronchopulmonary segments by the use of acrilyc resin and bronchography in the Japanese deer (Cervus nipponT.) .<BR>The right lung was divided into four lobes, a cranial, middle, intermediate and caudal. The left lung was divided into two lobes, a cranial and caudal. The pattern of bronchial tree as well as of bronchopulmonary segments was essentially same as that of other ruminants such as cow, goat and sheep.<BR>The pulmonary arteries maintained a close relationship to the bronchi in such a manner that they followed the bronchial arborization.<BR>Acrilyc resin was considered as an injection material suitable for defining both the bronchial tree and the distal airways.
