Abstract

Background: The Harderian gland in domestic birds is a major paraocular excretory gland that has an important role in tear production as well as in the immune protection of the conjunctiva surface.

Aim: The aim of this research was to investigate the arterial and venous supply of the gland in hens and provide valuable and useful information for future research.

Methods: The research was conducted on 26 adult hens, provenience of Lohmann Brown. For the identification and determination of blood vessels, we used the vascular corrosion cast technique in conjunction with the transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Results: The casts showed that the gland receives the arterial supply via branches of a. ophthalmotemporalis and a. nasalis communis and these arteries are accompanied by the corresponding veins. Ultrastructural analyses showed the presence of fenestrated capillaries, which indicates the possibility for permeability of larger molecules.

Conclusion: The present research gives important and detailed information about the arterial and venous supply of the Harderian gland in hens that may serve as guidelines for future vascular and morphological investigations.

母鸡哈氏腺的动脉和静脉供应。

背景：目的：本研究旨在调查母鸡哈氏腺的动静脉供应情况，为今后的研究提供有价值的有用信息：研究对象为 26 只成年母鸡，产地为 Lohmann Brown。为了识别和确定血管，我们使用了血管腐蚀铸模技术和透射电子显微镜（TEM）：结果：血管铸模显示，腺体通过眼颞动脉和鼻共动脉的分支获得动脉供应，这些动脉还伴有相应的静脉。超微结构分析表明存在栅栏状毛细血管，这表明大分子有可能通过：本研究提供了有关母鸡哈氏腺动静脉供应的重要详细信息，可作为未来血管和形态学研究的指南。
