Abstract
The age changes in the histomorphology of the adrenal gland was recorded in
different age groups of Japanese quail viz. Juvenile, immature, mature and senile birds of
about 156 weeks of age. The tissues were collected from the above age groups, fixed in NBF,
Bouin’s fluid and Orth fluid and processed by paraffin embedding technique. The adrenal
gland of juvenile age group showed a well defined interrenal tissue and the chromaffin tissue.
The interrenal tissue of the adrenal gland in one week old birds formed distinct loops in the
periphery and cell cords in the inner portion of the gland.
