Abstract
With the help of the methodological complex, the anatomical, histological, and morphometric parameters of the kidneys of the white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a representative of birds of prey in Belarus, were studied. When studying the kidneys of the white stork, there was found a relatively thin connective tissue capsule of the organ, a low density of renal (malpighian) bodies and the glomeruli in the cortical substance, the presence of areas with pathological processes in the form of granular, vacuolar and macro vesicular fatty renal dystrophy, as well as changes in the structure of cells that form distal straight tubules from cuboidal to polymorphic. These transformations in the structure of the organ can both bear an individual character and depend on environmental factors, lifestyle, behavior, and the nature of diet of the bird.
