Composition and structure of the skin of dromedary (Camelus dromedarius, L. 1758) from two Algerian populations

In the face of climate change, eco-dromedary seems to adapt meteorological constraints. This work compares skin forehead, hump, and axillary part two populations Algerian dromedaries, namely Sahraoui Targui. We worked on six young adult dromedaries sexes genders. removed from part; they were fixed in 10% formalin. After 48 hours fixation, different samples subjected stages histological techniques. Sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin. mounting slides, we proceeded microscopic observations calculations each layer thickness. The layers similar all body regions for populations. By comparing thickness populations, notice that male dromedary is thickest measures 0.0413±0.0222 cm, 0.9789±0.1397 2.8119±0.1266 cm epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, respectively. thinnest was found forehead Targui 0.0494±0.0095 0.2191±0.0536 0.3302±0.0835 variation parts between same population suggests an implication adaptation system climatic conditions.
