| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was applied on ten adult mature male balady ducks to demonstrate the anatomical features of the phallus and its vascularisation. Four healthy birds were slaughtered then dissected to study the external and internal structures of phallus; other six birds were injected with red colored latex through descending aorta for showing its blood supply. The phallus of duck was of intromittent type (phallus protrudens); at rest state, it was a coiled structure kept within a phallic pouchlateral to the cloaca. However at erected state,it protruded through the vent opening in a cranial direction. It composed of base, shaft and apex, its length about 6-8 cm while during fully erection, it reached 13-14cm. The phallus was supplied by phallic branches which aroused frominternalpudendal artery | ||||
