Age Related Histoarchitectural Studies on the Adrenal Gland of Goat (Capra hircus)

Background: Adrenal gland is an important endocrine that secrets several hormones play a key role in the adaptation of newborn to extra uterine life. The study was conducted explore histomorphological development adrenal glands Gohilwadi Goat (Capra hircus). Methods: research work carried out on twenty pair goat collected from local abattoir. animals were divided into three age groups, viz. group- I (day old 1 month), II ( greater than month 6 months) and III months). Result: Histological observations revealed fully differentiated cortex medulla, completely surrounded by dense fibrous capsule day goats. In I, made up definite foetal cortex, whereas former one comprised zona glomerulosa fasciculata only. Small elongate cortical cells characterized eosinophilic cytoplasm arranged irregular cords. group II, disappeared only present with well-developed zones i.e. Zona glomerulosa, reticularis. smallest thickness increased group-I group-III. largest among all groups reticularis well organized adult goat. Medulla occupied proportion inner medullary main cellular constituent medulla. Thickness medulla
