In an effort to develop data suitable for calculations of aerosol deposition, Raabe et al. (1976) made extensive measurements of casts of individuals of four species (human, dog, rat, hamster). These data are unique in including measurements from more than one species obtained with a single technique, in being comprehensive (including organization, dimensions, orientation to gravity, and branching angle), and in being published in a form that makes primary measurements easily available to other investigators.
2 Weibel Weibel (1963) published the first comprehensive analysis of airway morphometry. He measured diameters and lengths of individual airway branches of a human lung cast and calculated the mean dimensions of airways in each “generation,” defined as airways separated from the trachea by the 36 SECTION | I Structural and Cellular Diversity of the Mammalian Respiratory System same number of bifurcations. The trachea was considered generation 0, the two mainstem bronchi generation 1, and so on to the periphery.
