HISTOLOGICAL STUDY OF HIPPOCAMPUS IN MALE AND FEMALE VANARAJA BIRDS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 53
Abstract
Fourty day old sexed Vanaraja chicks (20 male+ 20 female) were selected for this experiment. All the management and feeding was done according to standard process. At 10 weeks of age 20 birds (10 males and 10 females) were slaughtered by cervical dislocation method at 2nd cervical vertebra level. After separation of brain staining of hippocampus was done. The paraffin blocks were cut with the help of a semi- motorized rotary microtome and tissue section were stained by using by Cresyl fast violet stain. Photography was carried out from the selected fields both under lower (10x) and higher (40x) magnifications. Size and diameter of different neurons in hippocampus was measured by conventional ocular micrometry. In both sexes brain topography, position of projection neurons, local circuit neurons and vascularized capillaries, dendrites are structurally similar. Different dendritic processes in neurons are approximately same in number and size in both sexes. Neuron size (cell body size) is significantly larger in male birds (135.45 ± 1.23 µm2) than female’s birds (116.53 ± 2.52 µm2) under higher magnifications.
