Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We studied the lungs of foetal rats from day 16 a.p to day 10 p.p under the light and electron microscope. On day 16 the lungs show glandular character. The vessels lie deeply embedded in the mesenchyma and are not in contact with the as yet undifferentiated epithelial cells. On day 18 we saw a beginning differentiation in the typ I cells (membranous pneumonocytes) and typ II cells (granular pneumonocytes). Lamellar bodies first appeared in the typ II cells on day 19. Coupled with the differentiation of the various epithelia, the vessels move closer towards them. The number of pneumomeres increases by dichotomous growth. With the growing together of the specific parts of the pulmonary tissue the connective tissue space decreases relatively in size. In the following days leading up to birth it is squeezed together in a "septa-fashion" and therefore influences the lungs structurally at the same time, especially the terminal lung regions. The vessels also influence the structural development of the pulmonary tissue to a large extent, in particular through their arrangement around the epithelial buds and their approach towards the alveolar lumen. The bloodgas-barrier becomes thereby functionally developed before birth on day 22. It consists of epithelial surface cells, fused epithelial and endothelial basal membranes and very flattened endothelial cells. It can therefore be used as a morphological criterion of the maturity of the lungs and hereby as an evaluation of the individual as a whole. An equal importance can also be attached to the timely development of the surfactant. The mechanisms leading to the unfolding of the alveoli are discussed. © 1971 Springer-Verlag.
