The University of Kerbala / College of Veterinary Medicine witnessed the defense of a Master’s thesis in the Department of Anatomy and Histology, entitled:
“Histological and Anatomical Comparative Study of Pancreas Between Gallinula chloropus (Moorhen) and Columba livia & Gallus gallus domesticus in Karbala Province”
The thesis, presented by student Mahmoud Ali Aboud, addressed a comparative morphological and histological study of the pancreas of moorhens and domestic chickens in Karbala Province.
The examining committee consisted of:
• Prof. Dr. Hussein Bashar Mahmoud – Chairman
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Muntadhar Mohammed Kani – Member
• Asst. Prof. Ghassan Attia Dawood – Member
• Asst. Prof. Dr. Walaa Fadhil Obaid – Member and Supervisor
The thesis aimed to study the anatomical and histological structure of the pancreas in both species, highlighting the morphological and histological differences between them. It also aimed to determine its anatomical location, measure secretory cells, and analyze subtle variations, thus contributing to the advancement of comparative studies in avian anatomy and supporting research in veterinary science.
This discussion comes within the framework of the college’s efforts, under the leadership of the Dean, Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Asaad Al-Kaabi, to support rigorous scientific research and solidify specialized studies in the field of anatomy and histology.
