Morfologia do ovário da ema (Rhea americana) Morphology of the ovary in rhea (Rhea americana)
A morfologia do ovário de emas adultas (Rhea americana) sexualmente maduras foi descrita neste trabalho. Os ovários de 24 fêmeas em fase reprodutiva foram colhidos em abatedouro, tomados dados métricos do diâmetro dos folículos (n = 18) e colhidos fragmentos para microscopia de luz (n = 6) fixados em formol 10%, PBS 0,1M, pH 7,4 para microscopia de luz.

The cloacal bursa is an organ in fowls, which triggers lymphocyte maturation and transference to other tissues. Since there is scanty information on its morphology in wild species in spite of its importance in the fowls´ immunological system, current analysis describes the arterial vascularization of the cloacal bursa in the greater rhea.
