MARC recordExperimental investigations on the respiratory function in diving mammals and birds / P.F. Scholander.
| Title: | Experimental investigations on the respiratory function in diving mammals and birds / P.F. Scholander. |
| Author(s): | Scholander, P. F. |
| Date: | 1940. |
| In: | Hvalrådets Skrifter. (1940.), Vol. 22 (1940) |
| Abstract: | Investigation extended direct experimental knowledge of diving function of some animals and birds. Problems of interest were how they can stand apnoea so much longer than other animals, and how they avoid caisson disease - gas bubbles in blood and tissue when they emerge from deep dive. Previous results on diving by pigeon, hen, duck, Uria, Mormon, white rat, water rat, rabbit, cat, dog, muskrat, beaver, Halichoerus, blue whale, finback whale, sperm whale, bottlenosed whale, average man, and pearl diver are quoted. Author studied oxygen content of lung, blood and tissue, and metabolism, particularly lactic content. Experiments were performed on seal, beaver, penguin, and domestic duck, and whales were observed. Deep diving is discussed, and harpooned fin whales were observed. A seal forced to dive to 300 m did suffer gas embolism. |
