Abstract :

Regarding to the important of trachea in aves classification and whereas its anatomy and morphology for trachea doesn’t explain yet.This roesearch performed on the 16 healthy full grown male and female partridge (chukar chukar type) with age average 20 weeks in lorestan. The morphology characteristics which examined were include ؛body weight, Trachea weight, Length of neak, length of trachea,the number of trachea circles,examining the figure of circles,their perfection or imperfection,their longitudinal section figure, overlap, accumulation, arrangement, existence of Anullar ligament. Between circle, the connecting place of Sternotrachealis muscles over the trachea,the amount of trachea firmness against finger pressure.the mentional characteristics review by using microstroscop in sections cranial,middling and caudal in each bird separately. Also for distinguishing cartilage or bony tissue of circles choosen some part and painted with Hematoxilin-Eosin. The morphology datas analaysis with T test and Pierson Corollation and the painted slices studying with photic microscopes. All morphology particulary in male were more than female ones, but no one meaningful.partridge trachea containing between 0.21%- 0.24% of the body weight. There is an important relationship between trachea weight, body weight, the number of circles with the neak length and trachea length.trachea circles in partridge are between 102-114, complete, muscular,circlic ligament,resistant against pressure and in the transversal cut from front to back have elliptical and circlic pattern.
