Anatomical and Histological Study for Nasal Glands in Geese (Anser Anser)
Keywords:
nasal gland, geese, birds
Abstract
The present investigation aimed to study the anatomical, histological and characterizations of the nasal glands( Nasal glands) of the geese. birds Phoenicopterus ruber roseus. The results of the present investigation shows that the geese(Anser anser) has a well developed bilateral salt glands which consist of an array of secretory lobules surrounded by richly avascularized connective tissue. Each lobe is made of a mass of branched secretory tubules radiate from central canal and enmeshed in one cell layer blood capillaries. The secretory tubule consists of simple cuboidal epithelium surrounding a narrow lumen showing round basal cells at their terminal segments. The secretory tubules and central canals drain in a main duct leads to the anterior of the nasal cavity.
