Histomorphology study of kidneys in Hoopoe Iraqi bird (Upupa epops)

The present work was designed to investigate the anatomical and histological structure of the kidney in adult Hoopoe Iraqi bird ten birds from the local breed of Babel market for the sale of birds used for the anatomical and histological study of kidney.study recorded the mean weight of bird (۷۹.۷۱±۰.۰۵gm), the mean weight of left kidneys (۶.۸۸±۰.۰۵۵gm) and right kidneys (۵.۱۴±۰.۰۳gm) and The mean length of body birds(۲۶.۵±۰.۰۳cm) and the mean length the left kidney (۲.۹۸±۰.۰۵cm) and right kidneys about (۲.۱±۰.۰۳۳cm) and mean thickness of Right cranial, middle. Caudle lobe is (۰.۳۳±۰.۰۳۳, ۰.۴±۰.۰۳۷, ۰.۵۴±۰.۰۲) while the mean thickness of left carinal, middle. The caudle lobe is (۰.۴۹±۰.۰۱, ۰.۵۸±۰.۰۳, ۰.۷±۰.۰۵) The anatomical results appeared flattened and located in retro-peritoneal organs embedded in the ventral surface of the synsacrum bone. The color of the kidney varies from brownish red to dark red and the semi rounded cranial lobe with elongated somewhat middle division and the expanded irregularly shaped and the histological result of kidneys capsule fine thickness with measure thickness is (۱.۳۴±۲.۴۵ um) at ۴X power magnification composed of fine collagen and reticular fibers. and no any demarcation between the cortex and medulla the cortex which occupied by large part of tube has two types of glomerulis the mammalian and reptilian type the vein appears more development in kidneys. The PCT appeared lined by tall cuboidal epithelial cell while the DCT lined by low cuboidal epithelia cells. The collecting tubule lined by one layer of pale cells with cuboidal to low columnar shape while collecting lined by simple cuboidal in smallest collecting ducts then appeared lined by simple columnar duct appear elongated and surrounded by epithelia cell located in medulla.
