Abstract

Aim: The present study was conducted to analyze the anatomic, morphometric and histological structure of the glandula uropygialis in Aseel roosters and hens. Materials and Methods: In the study, a total of 8 (4 males, 4 females) glandula uropygialis belonging to adult Aseel hens and roosters were used. Topographic features of the glandula uropygialis were analyzed in situ. The morphometric measurements were conducted on the dissected glands. Trichrome staining method was used to determine the histological structure of the glands, and Periodic Acid-Shiff (PAS) staining techniques were implemented to determine the glycogen and neutral mucins in the glands. Results: It was found out that the glandula uropygialis was topographically located on the cauda base, between the fourth caudal vertebrae and pygostyl. In terms of morphometric parameters, there were no statistically significant differences between hens and roosters or right and left lobes. Histologically, it was found that the secretoric tubules forming the parenchyma of the gland were separated from each other by connective tissue and showed a radial arrangement beginning from periphery and ending at the central cavity. Conclusion: It was concluded that the histological and anatomical structure of the glandula uropygialis in Aseel roosters and hens showed considererable similarities with that reported in other birds species.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma Aseel ırkı horoz ve tavuklarda glandula uropygialis’in anatomik, morfometrik ve histolojik yapısını incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada materyal olarak 8 adet (4 erkek, 4 dişi) erişkin Aseel ırkı tavuk ve horoza ait glandula uropygialis kullanıldı. Glandula uropygialis’in topografik özellikleri in situ olarak incelendi. Daha sonra diseksiyonla bezler gövdeden ayrılarak morfometrik ölçümleri yapıldı. Bezlerin histolojik yapısını belirlemek için üçlü boyama yöntemi, bezdeki glikojen ve nötral müsinleri belirlemek için Periodic Acid-Shiff (PAS) boyama teknikleri uygulandı. Bulgular: Glandula uropygialis’in topografik olarak kuyruk tabanı üzerinde, dördüncü kuyruk omuru ile pygostil arasında bulunduğu gözlendi. Morfometrik parametreler açısından tavuk ve horozlar arasında ya da sağ ve sol loblar arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi. Histolojik olarak, bezin parankimini oluşturan sekretorik tubüllerin, periferden merkeze doğru ışınsal dizilim gösterdiği, merkezi boşluğa açıldığı ve bağ doku bölmeleri ile birbirinden ayrıldığı belirlendi. Öneri: Aseel ırkı horoz ve tavuklarda glandula uropygialis’in histolojik ve anatomik özelliklerininin, diğer kanatlılarda bildirilen özelliklerle genel olarak benzerlik gösterdiği sonucuna varıldı.
