TI  - A Comparative Gross Study on the Sacral Plexus of the Magpie (Pica Pica) and Chukar Partridge (Alectoris Chukar)
AB  - Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the detection of plexus sacralis and its branches of Magpie (Pica pica) and Chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) and to correlate the anatomic differences between these studied species. Materials and Methods: In the study, 20 each magpies and Chukar partridges were used. Under anesthesia, the studied birds were sacrificed. Then all the nerves separating from the plexus sacralis were separately dissected and photographed Results: In wingeds, plexus sacralis usually occurs as a result of a combination of ventral primary branches of 1-5 sacral spinal nerves. In the study, it was observed that formation of plexus sacralis and general anatomic distribution of nerves arising from plexus in both the species were similar with other species of birds. However, nerves forming the plexus sacralis and their branches were thicker in Chukar partridge than Magpie. Conclusion: In conclusion, in the Magpie and Chukar partridge, anatomical distribution and nerve structure of plexus sacralis were determined, and it was observed that there was no major anatomical difference between them.
