Morphological & histochemical changes studies on the seasonal changes of the thstis of the adult one-humped camel (camelus dromedaries)

The results presented in this investigation elucidate the micromorphology. histochemical of thetestis of camel( Camelus d~omedarius) in the different seasons using 90 males camel (Falahi breed), rangingin ~ge 7 4 10 years from laughter houBsea • The ~unioa albug!ne tOtin6 id be 6omposed of collagenous and a few elastic fibers and isolatedbundles of the smooth muscle fibers. The middle part .of the tunica albuginea was rich with blood vessels.The rete testis was found in the mediastinum testis. It was formed of wide spaces interconnectedwith each other and was lined with a single layer of cuboidal or columnar cells. Its connective tissuewas in direct communication with that derived from the tunica albuginea.The interstitial tissue was composed of vascular-groups of Leydig cells and a network of reticular fibers. These cells increased in v o Lume and number inthe rutting period and were distorted and reduced in volume in the non • rutti,ng period. Furthermore, the
