The surface characteristics of the intrapulmonary airways and alveoli of the lungs from 12 young adult cattle examined by the scanning electron microscope are described. When compared with similar studies of the lungs of various other mammalian species, the bovine lung generally resembles that of other mammals except for several important features: (1) Alveolar pores of Kohn are small and extremely rare; (2) Alveolar macrophages are seldom seen in alveolar air spaces; (3) Interlobular septa completely separate the lung into distinct lobules.
描述了通过扫描电子显微镜检查的12头年轻成年牛肺内气道和肺泡的表面特征。与对其他各种哺乳动物肺部的类似研究相比，除了几个重要特征外，牛肺通常与其他哺乳动物的肺相似：（1）柯恩肺泡孔小且极其罕见；（2）在肺泡气腔内很少见到肺泡巨噬细胞；（3）小叶间隔将肺完全分隔成不同的小叶。
