## Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether or not the nasal glands of the roadrunner and the __Coturnix__ quail show cytological specializations for salt secretion. In addition, the Na‐K ATPase content of the quail gland was determined before and after drinking of saline

In birds, adrenocortical hormones probably sustain nasal salt gland (NSG) function, indirectly, through their influence on renal and cardiovascular function. Adrenalectomy blocks the response by duck NSG to hypertonic saline only if the ducks are maintained on freshwater. However, if adrenalectomize

## Abstract Salt glands are used by some vertebrates to excrete hyperosmotic NaCl or KCl solutions in response to dietary salt loads. Control of secretion varies across taxa; some secrete in response to osmotic challenges while others secrete in response to specific dietary ions. We hypothesized th
