Article Synopsis
- The Japanese quail has been significant to humans since the 12th century, known for its high egg production, quality low-fat meat, and ease of management, making it valuable in both industry and research.
- A study focused on the development of the oropharyngeal salivary glands in Japanese quails, examining embryos and chicks at various ages using histological and electron microscopy techniques.
- Key findings included the early formation of sublingual and mandibular glands, which developed into mucous glands after hatching, playing important roles in food processing and moisture retention during feeding.
To understand the development of the mucous preglottal salivary gland in Coturnix japonica (Japanese quail), morphological and histochemical studies were performed on 20 healthy Japanese quail embryos (aging from 10th to 17th incubation days) and 25 healthy quail chicks (aging from 0th to 60th days). The primordia of preglottal salivary gland were observed as an epithelial bud at the early embryonic stage, which then elongated and differentiated into secretory units by the end of this stage. In Japanese quails, the preglottal salivary gland was a mucous polystomatic tubuloalveolar unpaired gland composed of two lateral portions and a middle one embedded into the submucosa of the lingual root.
