Bibliography: leaves 209-254. / viii, 254, [39] leaves, [17] leaves of plates : ill. 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / Attempts to construct an evolutionary overview of the regulation of surfactant secretion among the vertebrates. A detailed whole animal and in vitro study of the factors that control surfactant secretion and function in the central Australian agamid lizard Pogona vitticeps was undertaken. Type II pneumocytes were also isolated and cultured from Australian lungfish, North American bullfrogs and fat-tailed dunnarts. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Physiology, 1999
