Studies on the amphibian respiratory tract microvascular anatomy are few. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of vascular corrosion casts (VCCs) and light microscopy of perfusion-fixed tissue sections, we studied the bronchial microvascular anatomy in the adult South African Clawed Toad, Xenopu...
