Choana Morphogenesis in Developmental Stages of Muscovy Ducks

| Sumario: | This study was performed by using Fourty nine Muscovy ducks to obtain enough information
about the development of the choanal slit from 1 to 60 days old. The choanal slit formed nearly
one-third of the total length of the palate in all studied ages; consisted of rostral narrow and caudal
wide parts. The ratio of the length of the narrow part to the total length of the choanal slit was
generally low at the young ducks and increased in the older ones, while that of the wide part
reversing the ratio of the narrow part. By the SEM, 2 rows of papillae could be identified on the
edges of the wide part of the choanal slit in all studied ages. The papillae of those rows were
mostly cone-shaped with pointed apices, but some of them were dome-shaped with blunt apices
could be demonstrated at 60 days old. Numerous openings of the intraepithelial glands were
scattered within the epithelium of the choanal slit. At the edges of the choanal slit at one day old
duck, the stratified squamous epithelium continued for a short distance before transforming into
the ciliated respiratory epithelium. This epithelium was interrupted by intraepithelial mucous
glands. These glands and their ducts surrounded by multiple lymphatic infiltration and nodules
at 15- 60 days old. The lamina propria of the palate at the level of the choanal slit contained
palatine salivary glands, these glands in older ages surrounded by numerous lymphatic nodules. |
