Dişi ve erkek keklik (alectoris chukar) üropigial bezinin histolojik ve histokimyasal özellikleri

Bu çalışmada dişi ve erkek keklik (Alectoris chukar) üropigial bezinin histolojik ve histokimyasal yapısının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Bu amaçla dörder adet erişkin dişi ve erkek keklikten alınan bez örnekleri materyal olarak kullanıldı. Dişi ve erkek bireylere ait bezler arasında histolojik yönden belirgin bir farklılığın olmadığı, sadece erkek bireylerde bezin duvar kalınlığının dişilerdekine nazaran daha ince yapıda olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca histokimyasal uygulamaları sonucunda dişi üropigial bezinde karboksilatlı mukosubstansın, erkek üropigial bezinde ise nötral mukosubstansın yoğun bulunduğu saptandı.

The histological and histochemical characteristics on the uropygial gland of female and male partridge (alectoris chukar)

In this study, it was aimed to determine histological and histochemical structure of uropygial gland of female and male partridge (Alectoris chukar). For this purpose, the gland samples taken from four adult female and four adult male partridge were used as the material. It was detected that there was no significant difference between glands of female and male by the histological aspect and the wall thickness of male’s gland was thinner than female’s. As a result of histochemical applications, it was also determined that carboxylated mucosubstance was intense in female’s uropygial gland while neutral mucosubstance was intense in male’s uropygial gland.
