Pulmonary defense mechanisms in Boa constrictor

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1981
We studied aerosol deposition and the response to inhaled particles and irritants in lungs of Boa constrictor. Snakes which breathed submicrometric particles radiolabeled with 99mTc retained 41.4 +/- 9.9% of the aerosol in the trachea, 42.5 +/- 8.8% in the anterior faveolar regions, and 8.7 +/- 4.1% in the posterior saccular regions of the lungs.
