COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF ADRENAL GLANDS IN DIFFERENT CERVIDAE SPECIES

摘要

The morphology of adrenal glands in different species of the family Servidae was studied in the territory of Altai Kral. The adrenal glands of Cervus elafus sibiricus, Cervus nippon, Alces alces, Capreolus pyrargus have a similar arrangement, but differ in the weight, shape, morphometric parameters, and the location of the cellular bands of the glomerular zone. Compared to the other described species, the Siberian roe deer has a single-layered outer capsule of the gland. In the adrenal glands of maral and Sika deer, an uneven periocularly layer was found. The brain matter in the maral and the elk is represented by two types of cells, that of the spotted deer and the Siberian roe deer, only by noradrenalineuria cells.
