Plate 51 See also Figure A2.12 Pluck, sheep, the trachea is on the left side of the picture (†). Hypostatic
congestion. Note the left lung is diffusely dark red and right lung is diffusely pale pink. In this case it appears
that the body was placed on the left side after death and blood has pooled by gravity in the dependent
lung. This should be differentiated from inflammation or congestion by gently palpating the lungs to detect
a change in texture which is a feature of a true lesion. Photo: Mr. R. Irvine, University of Glasgow, UK.
