The aim of this study was to investigate the histology of the lungs in local rabbits (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) at three different stages of development. A total of eighteen rabbits were used in the study, with lung tissue samples collected at 17 and 27 days in utero, as well as at 6 months after birth. The lung undergoes various histomorphological changes during embryonic development, including the embryonic, Pseudoglandular, canalicular, saccular, and alveolar stages. The objective of this research was to examine the histological characteristics of the normal lung tissue in local rabbits. Histological analysis revealed the presence of alveoli, as well as fibrin and individual red blood cells in some of the lung tissue samples. Additionally, a few alveolar macrophages, as well as type Ⅰ and type II cells, were observed in the alveolar spaces.
