Abstract
This study aimed to document the detailed features of the nasal cavity in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) by the use of ten mature quails. The heads of the birds were sectioned slightly paramedially and transversally in rostrocaudal sequence. Then, sections were placed in 0.1% methylene blue for 15 min followed by 50% and 70% ethyl alcohol series, respectively. The nasal cavity was formed rostrally by the nostrils which were two narrow longitudinal openings located at the upper part of the base of the beak. They were Nares perviae, a kind of open nares type. The choana possessed two openings communicating the nasal cavity with the oral cavity. The rostral nasal concha was present lying opposite the nostrils, showing, in transverse sections, C-shaped appearance in form with 6.23±0.1 mm long and 3.85±0.2 mm wide dorso-ventrally at its base. The middle nasal concha situated obliquely between the rostral nasal concha and the caudal nasal concha was the largest of all, being 8.32±0.21 mm long and 2.54±0.12 mm wide dorso-ventrally. In cross section, it exhibited a scroll-like structure with one-half turning ventro-laterally. The caudal nasal concha, the smallest one, resembled a hemisphere of 3.2±0.15 mm in diameter with its caudal border attaching to the olfactory region of the nasal cavity, and its cranial edge being free. The septal nasal concha was absent and the infraorbital sinus was highly developed in the Japanese quails examined

Abstract
Bu çalışma, on ergin Japon bıldırcını kullanarak (Coturnix coturnix japonica) cavitas nasalis’in özelliklerini detaylı olarak incelemeyi amaçladı. Kuşların başlarına paramedian ve rostro-caudal yönde sırasıyla transversal kesitler yapıldı. Daha sonra kesitler, sırasıyla 15 dakika %0,1’lik metilen blue içerisinde bekletilmesini takiben %50 ve %70’lik etil alkolden geçirildi. Burun boşluğu rostralde ibiğin tabanının üst kısmında yerleşmiş olan iki dar longitudinal açıklık olan burun delikleri tarafından şekillendirilmişti (açık tip burun deliği olan nares perviae). Choana burun boşluğu ve ağız boşluğu arasındaki ilişkiyi sağlayan iki açıklığa sahipti. Concha nasalis rostralis burun boşluklarının karşı tarafında yerleşmiş, transversal kesitlerde dorso-ventral olarak tabanda 6.23±0.1 mm uzunluğunda ve 3.85±0.2 mm genişliğinde, C harfi şekline bir yapıdaydı. Concha nasalis rostralis ve concha nasalis caudalis arasında oblik olarak yerleşmiş olan ve dorso-ventral 8.32±0.21 mm uzunluğunda ve 2.54±0.12 mm genişliğinde olan concha nasalis medialis concha’lar arasında en büyüğüydü. Enine kesitlerde yarısı ventro-lateral’e dönük külah benzeri bir yapıdaydı. En küçüğü olan concha nasalis caudalis’in arka sınırı burun boşluğunun olfactorik bölgesine yapışmakta ve cranial sınırı serbest, 3.2±0.15 mm yarıçapında bir yarımküreye benzemekteydi. İncelenen Japon bıldırcınlarında concha nasalis septalis yoktu, sinus infraorbitalis ise oldukça gelişmişti
