Morpho-histological and histochemical study of the gall bladder of white-eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis)‎

Abstract EN

The present work aims to study the morpho-histological and histochemical structure of gall bladder in white – eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis) in college of veterinary medicine at university of Basrah.

Fifteen samples of adult healthy males were used, which divided in to three groups.
