Interstitial cells in the gonads of domestic fowl

Decerebration of the Domestic Fowl.

Neuroendocrine cells are present in the domestic fowl ovary.

Neuroendocrine cells are present in virtually all organs of the vertebrate body; however, it is yet uncertain whether they exist in the ovaries. Previous reports of ovarian neurons and neuron-like cells in mammals and birds might have resulted from misidentification. The aim of the present work was to determine the identity of neuron-like cells in immature ovaries of the domestic fowl. Cells im...

The whole formed a consistent series which demonstrated the fact that an individual which had previously functioned as an active female producing eggs can on occasion undergo a complete sex transformation and come to function as ...

Blood and Bone Marrow Cells of the Domestic Fowl

1. A simple, direct method of counting leucocytes of the fowl is described. 2. Twenty-nine complete, morphological studies of the blood of eleven domestic fowls are recorded. 3. The characteristics of the cells found in the blood and bone marrow are described in detail and their relative numbers reported. 4. The supravital technique, using neutral red and Janus green, enables one to separate an...

SKADHAUGE, ERIK, AND BODIL SCHMIDT-NIELSEN. Renal function in domestic fowl. Am. J. Physiol. 2 12 (4) : 793-798. 1967.Roosters were exposed to water and salt loading and to dehydration. The ureteral urine was collected through polyethylene funnels. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was found to increase an average of 23 yO from dehydration to hydration, when at the same time the urine flow i...
