Abstract

Saadatfar, Z. and Asadian, M. 2009. Anatomy of pancreas in mynah (Acridotheres tristis). J. Appl. Anim. Res., 36: 191–193.

In the present study the histology of the exocrine and endocrine portions of pancreas in Mynah have been studied. Mynah s pancreas had three lobes. Acini were round to oval in shape with large granules. Ducts in exocrine part had simple to stratified cuboidal epithelium with muscular layer around and without any gland. In dorsal lobe, A islets were more than B islets and in ventral lobe, B islets were more than A islets. B islets were composed of B cells and D cells at the periphery. The structure of mynah's pancreas was similar to that of other avian species with minor differences.
