Abstract
Summary Lamellar bodies in individual pulmonary granular pneumocytes in the species examined (mouse, rat, rabbit, and dog) have virtually the same volume density with respect to the cytoplasmic volume as estimated by stereological techniques. The surface-to-volume ratio for these structures also fail to show any interspecies variation in these species. This investigation was supported in part by U.S. Public Health Service Grant HL-16031 and a grant from the American Lung Association. We thank Dr. D. B. Gail for reviewing the manuscript.Keywords
