Show Book; II. 0f [/36 Lzrngr of great Anima/r. The Lungs ofaSheep do hold much Analogy with thofe of a Calfc, as totheir number of Lobes, and likenefs of Figure. C H A P. The Lungs of a Camel and Bear, have much allinity with thofe of perfeet Animals, only they differ in greatnefs of Dimenfions: and as being ve~ i'y large, have only one Lobe feared on each fide. In aTigre the Lungs are found jagged, and hued with a Red colour ; fometimes this Animal is liable to Inflammations, Abfcelles, and Ulcers of X X X IX‘ 0f the Lung: of greater c/fnirm/r. the lungs. T H E Lungs of greater and more perfect Animals have much Ana. logy with each Other in their Structure, as confii'ting of a fpongy fub. fiance made up of numerous Branches of the Afiiera Arteriiz, called Bronchia, to which are appendant many Veficles, filled with Air in Infpiration 9 and are not only furnilhed with Pipes and Cells of Air, but with many Divan. cations of Arteries, Veins, Nerves, Lymphedué‘ts, integrating the rare Com. page of the Lungs, immured withina fine membranous Enclofure. The Lungs of greater and lefs Animals do difler from each other in their colour, lhape, more or lefs fpongy Compage, and multitude of Lobes. The Lungs of a Lion, defcribed by the Learned 'Parifizm Anatomilis, are furnilhed with only fix Lobes, as being a fick and decayed Lion, in his non ble parts, by reafon Renowned Boricbim in a found I ion that he Difleéted, rec'ounteth Eight Lobes, Left Side. Four being feated in the Right, and Four in the Difeafed Lions die of Aflhmas, being fubjeét to great obl'crné‘tion of the Btonchia, and appendant Velicles of AirJ produced by a thick mucous Matter, fiufling ,qu their Pipes, and hindring their Reception ofAir; whereupon they dye fuflbcatcd. . . _ The Left Side of the Lungs of a Calf is compofed of Three Lobes; the Firlt taketh its progrefs upward, and is endued with a pyramidal Figure, wliofe Cone looketh toward the Neck, and its Bafe toward the Second Lobe, to \vhichit is adjoyned. The Second Lobe is feared in the middle, between tire P,':.iv;i._‘<‘_ "in greater and lowcll Lobe, to which itis fafiened, and pallttli Ct‘OlS-XVJ", : i'v- ward the left Side 5 and its upper Surface hath a plane oblong form, and its lower Region is decked with a tricufpidal Figure. i Tthhird The Third and loweft. Lobe in the . L eft Side, is much greater than anyi of ' Lobe oftlic ' , . . ‘e . l Lciismc, me other, and is very thick in its Origen and Body7 and is encued bLiOW with a very thin Margent. The Right fide of the Lungs is framed of Four Lobes, the uppermoli The upper. hath a kind of Semicirculat Figure, and is leated in the highcll part of the mail Lobe of Thorax tlic Right Side ,‘ ._.._.. .;.--4-1f {Elicsqond ' _ ‘ . The Second Lobe taketh its progrefs tranfverlly toward the Rig-ht Side, and is endued with an oblong narrow flat {hape in its upper Region, and in the lower part is adorned with a tricufpidal form, fomewhar like the Sccond Lobe of the L eft Side. at; Third The Third Lobe is lodged under the lowel‘t, and is the molt finall of all '° " the Lobes, and is larger in its Origen, and more narrow in its Termination, and hath a ridge pafling all along its upper Region. The mm, The Fourth Lobe relating to the Right Side of the Lungs of a Calf, far Wiggly? exceedeth in Dimenlions all the other Lobes belonging to it, and bath a Righismcnr protuberance running all along, and endeth in a kind of Cone, and is 611‘ he LU f . . :Calii‘gio compailed for the molt part With a thin Margent. The A Gm'ncy Hog hath ungs confifling of Seven Lobes, Three lodged on each fide of the Heart, and one in the middle running up the length of the Heart toward the Cone. But the Lungs ofan Otter are endowed only with Six Lobes,cncircling each fide of the Heart, and arrayed with a Yellowifli colour, which is rare in the Lungs of Animals. The Lungs of a Hare are beautified with a bright Red, and the Heart is enc0inpailed on each fide with three L obes, one greater and two lelfer ones, and the Seventh may be difcovered about the Back of a more fpungy fuba fiance than the refi, as Learned Thames Bm'tbolirie hath obferved. ' An Animal (called I-Ijieria by the Latines) hath beautiful Lungs, as adorned with variety of colours, Brown {haded with White, and befptcked with numerous Purple fpots. a The Lungs of a Porcupine are admirable in reference to number, as being Fourteen finall Lobes, ofwhich Seven encompafs the Heart on each lide. A Bever hath Lungs of a very fpungy fubflance, beautified with a Whitifh colour, interfperfed with fomewhat of Red. A Civet Cat hath each fide of his Heart immured with Three Lobes, endued with a Red colour, intetfperfed with Black lines, fomewhat refembling 3 Spiders web in finenels. The Lungs of a Tortois are Two, on each fide one, ofa very light and fpongy fubltance, as compofed of many veficularSz‘nm ', and take their progrefs from the Neck all along the Back, and feem at lafl: to be compofed of divers parts, which are feveral Velicles of Air, running one into another, fo that when they are blown up, they feem to make but one great Bladder. |
