為瞭解山羌支氣管分枝之狀況,本研究以六隻山羌作其肺臟支氣管樹分枝之大體解剖學研究。以乳膠灌流中空之支氣管做成硬化之支氣管樹標本,供做研究之用。山羌的肺葉與其他家畜極為類似,在外觀上牠的左肺葉或右肺葉均有明顯的葉間裂隙,左肺葉包括尖葉(前葉)、中間葉與膈葉(後葉),右肺葉則包括尖葉(前葉)、中葉、膈葉(後葉)與附屬葉。右尖葉的主幹支氣管單獨源自於氣管,位於氣管末端主幹支氣管分叉的上方。依中久喜-教授的分類法;右支氣管可分枝右外側小支氣管系統(L)從第一至第六;右背側小支氣管系統(D)僅從第一至第六;右內側小支氣管系統(M)僅一。右腹側小支氣管系統(V)從第一至第三。左支氣管可分枝左外側小支氣管系統(L)從第一至第四,左背側小支氣管系統(D)亦從第一至第二;左內側小支氣管(M)從第一至第五,而左腹側小支氣管(V)僅一。
To realize the branching of bronchus in the lungs of Taiwanese endemic deer, the lungs of six Formosan Reeves muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi micrurus) were injected with latex colloid solution and the coagulated bronchial tree was use to examined in this study. Externally, the both lungs of Formosan Reeves muntjac are subdivided into numerous lobes by deep fissures. The left lungs consist of cranial, and caudal lobes, and the right one is subdivided to cranial, middle, caudal and accessory lobes. Except for the right cranial lobe, the chief bronchi of right and left lobe bifurcate from the trachea bifurcation. The bronchus of right cranial lobe arises alone from the trachea located on the upstream of trachea bifurcation. According to Dr. Nakakukis classification pattern, the branching of bronchial tree in the lung of Formosan Reeves muntjac can also be subdivided to the right bronchus and the left bronchus. The right bronchus is subdivided subsequently to right lateral bronchiole (L; from 1(superscript st) to 6(superscript th) right dorsal bronchiole (D; from 1(superscript st) to 6(superscript th), right medial bronchiole (M; only one), and the right ventral bronchiole system (V; from 1(superscript to) 3(superscript rd) The left bronchus branches to form left lateral bronchiole (L; from 1(superscript st) to 4(superscript th) left dorsal bronchiole (D; from 1(superscript st) to 2(superscript th), left medial bronchiole (M; from 1(superscript st) to 5(superscript th) and the left ventral bronchiole system (V; only one).
