Abstract:
The histomorphological and histochemical study were conduct on common hepatic duct in Guinea Fowl (Numida meleagris). Three tunics i.e. tunica mucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica adventitia were noticed in the microscopic study of common hepatic duct. The tunica adventitia was observed as the passage providing entity of blood vessels. With Weigert’s method the collagen fibers has shown intense activity at lamina propria and tunica adventitia but rest of the components was observed with mild activity of collagen and elastic fibers. In the histochemical studies of common hepatic duct, Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) for glycogen has shown the mild activity at the mucus of mucosal layer. The weak acid and alkaline phosphatase activity were shown by lamina propria and tunica muscularis.
