Abstract

This investigation was carried out to provide a comparative anatomical picture of the Heart and Lungs in
Bewick Swan, domestic fowl and in duck. There is very least literature regarding comparative descriptive
variations of the heart and lungs in flying and non-flying birds that could adapt various functions, such as flying
and running. This study may be used as the basis of a functional study of avian respiratory and circulatory
systems.
