“…The other major species in which rigorous determinations of pulmonary blood volume have been made are the dog, mouse, and pig. There have been a number of techniques used in describing this volume in these species (Table 4) (Milnor, 1989;Giuntini et al, 1963;Dock et al, 1961;Harris and Heath, 1986;Perasolo and Heisanken, 1971;Lewis et al, 1962Lewis et al, , 1970Backmann and Hartung, 1969;Milnor et al, 1960;Varnauskas et al, 1971;Maseri et al, 1972;Wanner et al, 1978;Zarbock et al, 2009;Ugander et al, 2010;Ou et al, 1993). Although these values are approximations, they represent a fair sampling of the values in the literature and have provided a starting point for a number of studies that have described the distribution of blood volumes between the pulmonary arteries, capillaries, and veins, and the factors that alter both the overall pulmonary blood volume and the partitioning of that volume as well.…”
