Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the proventriculus and gastric ventricle of Crypturellus parvirostris . Two adult males were used, with a mean weight of 939 ± 12.7 g, from the region of Araguaina, State of Tocantins. After capture, the birds were euthanized through intravenous application of 2.5% sodium thiopental until barbiturate coma was attained. Then, they were necropsied and their organs and viscera were evaluated morphologically. The anatomical and histological characteristics of the proventriculus and gastric ventricle of C. parvirostris were similar to those of other tinamid species, but there is a lack of morphological data related to the family Tinamidae. KEYWORDS: Crypturellus parvirostris ; morphology; Tinamidae.

Summary
O inhambú-chororó é uma ave que possui em média 21 cm, destacada como a menor representante do gênero. Aspectos morfológicos do proventrículo e ventrículo gástrico de Crypturellus parvirostris (Wagler, 1827) O estômago das aves possui duas partes distintas separadas por uma constrição, que consiste de um pequeno estômago glandular (proventrículo), cranial, e um grande estômago muscular (ventrículo gástrico ou moela), caudal (GETTY, 2008).
