The Veterinary Microscopic Anatomy Review series is a 21-volume set of interactive iBooks to allow a Q&A type review of microscopic anatomy structure and function. The histological sections are taken from multiple domestic species, including the canine, feline, bovine and equine.

In this unit of the series, sections from the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea and lungs are examined. The relationships between the structures observed, including the individual cells of the alveoli, and the functions of the respiratory tract are reviewed. In addition, species differences in lung structure are considered, and a pathologic bovine lung is examined for normal looking structures.
