Abstract :Muscle fiber types of the tunica muscularis externa of the upper part of the sparrow esophagus were characterised by the method of myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mATPase);. Muscle fibers were described as type II and type III. Muscle fiber types were histochemically different from those of the esophagus of broiler ross.
