Intestinal architecture of high (HS)- and low (LS)-stress responsive Japanese quail. (a) Representative microphotographs showing H&E stained jejunum from HS and LS Japanese quail. H&E jejunum was examined for villus height (VH, measured from villus-crypt junction to villus tip), villus width (VW, measured halfway between the villus-crypt junction and the villus tip), crypt depth (CD; measured from crypt base to villus-crypt junction), and muscularis externa (ME). Scale bars = 1000 μm and 200 μm. (b) Representative microphotographs showing H&E stained colon from HS and LS Japanese quail. In H&E colon, we examined the thickness of the mucosal layer (ML), including the muscularis mucosa (MM), and the muscularis externa (ME). M mucosa, CM circular muscle, LM longitudinal muscle. Scale bars = 200 μm
