Abstract

×

Birds are considered a good model for studying the phonation process, the syrinx is a vocal organ in birds. The purpose of this study is to investigate the topographical and morphological characteristics of syrinx of male domestic fowl. In the current study we use the syrinxes of seven adult males. The study shows that the syrinx of investigated birds is tracheobronchial in type. It consists of; tympanum, tracheosyringeal and bronchosyringeal groups. In addition, there are interbronchial ligament (brachidesm), lateral and medial vibrating membranes as well as the pessulus at the tracheal bifurcation. Tympanum part forms the first part of the syrinx; it is formed of four tracheal rings. The tracheosyringeal part is located at the point of tracheal bifurcation just below the tympanum. It is formed of four highly modified incomplete tracheal rings. The bronchosyringeal part is formed of first three pairs of bronchial half-rings. The current study was presented the detailed morphological characteristics of syrinx in male domestic fowl.
