The aim of this study was to find out the morphological features of larynx cranialis in stork (Ciconia ciconia L.) For this purpose six storks were used. After observing macroscopic characteristics, larynx cranialis of three storks were investigated histologicaly. Although, one or three papillae were noticed in the caudal part of mons laryngealis, there was no papilla in the sulcus laryngealis. The cartilagines laryngeales were formed by paired cartilago arytenoidea, single cartilago cricoidea and cartilago procricoidea. The protuberance, which is named as crista ventralis locate in the inner surface of cartilago cricoidea was clearly observed.
ÖZET
Leyleğin (Ciconia ciconia L.) larynx cranialis'inin morfolojik özelliklerini ortaya konulması amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada toplam altı leylek kullanıldı. Makroskobik incelemeden sonra, üç adet leyleğe ait larynx cranialis histolojik olarak da incelendi. Mons laryngealis'in caudal'inde 1-3 adet papillaya rastlandı. Sulcus laryngealis'in içinde ise papilla yoktu. Larynx cranialis'in kıkırdaklarını tek olan cartilago cricoidea, cartilago procricoidea ve çift olan cartilago arytenoidea oluşturdu. Cartilago cricoidea'nın corpus'unun iç yüzünde crista ventralis adı verilen çıkıntı oldukça belirgin olarak gözlendi.

ABSTRACT
THE MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE LARYNX CRANIALIS IN STORK (CICONIA CICONIA L.)
The aim of this study was to find out the morphological features of larynx cranialis in stork (Ciconia ciconia L.) For this purpose six storks were used. After observing macroscopic characteristics, larynx cranialis of three storks were investigated histologicaly. Although, one or three papillae were noticed in the caudal part of mons laryngealis, there was no papilla in the sulcus laryngealis. The cartilagines laryngeales were formed by paired cartilago arytenoidea, single cartilago cricoidea and cartilago procricoidea. The protuberance, which is named as crista ventralis locate in the inner surface of cartilago cricoidea was clearly observed.
