This study was aimed to study the anatomy and histology of the adrenal gland in quail. The study was designed to describe the anatomy and histological characteristics of the quail’s adrenal gland. Ten samples from adrenal glands were used in the study. They were collected from ten adult Japanese quail. The anatomical features of glands have paired glands located in the abdominal cavity at the anterior end of the kidneys. The right and left adrenal glands are small and yellowish brown in colour. They are flattened organs with an irregular outline and their shape can vary from oblong to oval to pyramidal. The histochemical observation in quail revealed that the adrenal gland was encapsulated by connective tissue fibres and parenchyma that constituted three main components: the inter-renal tissue or cortical tissue; chromaffin or medullary tissue and sinusoid. The capsule of the adrenal gland was strongly positive for PAS, while the inter-renal cells of the quail adrenal were moderately positive to PAS in Mallory Phosphotungstic Acid Haematoxlin Method Stain (PTAH) that cause the collagen to appear with a red colour. While the nuclei and fibrin appear with a blue colour, in Weigert’s iron, haematoxylin appears as the elastic fibres in the gland. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
