Abstract EN
Chickens (Gallus domesticus) present several advantages as an animal model to study the anatomical and histological field of eye, For instance, they have large eyes that grow surprisingly fast (100 µm per day), exhibit good optics, and powerful accommodation .
So, under this study a total of (20) male local chickens were studied.
Then, for histological study the other (10) chicken was cut off their eyes and fixed directly with 10% formalin.The weight, length and width of eye, cornea and iris were recorded and the mean and S.
D.
was founded: 16.5771, 1.993; 18.3, 0.8331; 18.3, 0.823 for weight (gr.), length and width of eye (mm) respectively.
While, the length and width (mm) of cornea: 8.300, 0.483 and 8.400, 0.516 respectively, and in iris: 5.42, 0.516 and 5.42, 0.421.The anatomical and histological section showed a clear layers and cells, the sclera with clear fibroblast, collagen fibers and elastic fibers, The layers of retina were noticed with pigmented epithelial layer, rods and cones, external laminated layer, external nuclear layer, external plexus layer, inner nuclear layer, inner plexus layer, basal cell layer, nerve fiber layer, inner laminate layer.
the ciliary process consist of smooth muscles, ciliary process, supercillary process, pigmented ciliary epithelia.This study recorded as a first one in Basrah city.
