Abstract:The intestine plays an important role in mediating between the bird and its nutritional environment. The yolk stalk, also known as Meckel's diverticulum, is a landmark between the jejunum and ileum. This work aimed to investigate the anatomical, histological, and electron microscopical features of cellular components of the Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) in adult geese. The intestine was dissected from the bird’s body cavity, and Meckel’s diverticulum was exposed and prepared for light and electron microscopical e… Show more
