The Ultra Structural Studies of Duodenum of Goat (Capra hircus)

Structural characteristics of goat (Capra hircus) parotid salivary glands.

The structural characteristics of the parotid glands in small ruminants (goat, sheep) were observed and compared to those of a major laboratory animal, the mouse. Their parotid glands consist of the purely serous type. Ultrastructurally, the serous acini of goats and sheep were characterized by the presence of well-developed basolateral expansions of folds, which are characteristics of electrol...

Ultrastructure of the Hepatic Sinusoid of the Goat Capra Hircus

I t is generally agreed that the hepatic sinusoidal lining is discontinuous and that no basement membrane as such exists in the livers of rats (7-9, 14-16, 19, 20, 22), mice (5, 10, 11, 21), dogs (16), rabbits (1, 18), pig embryos (1), frogs (8), developed chick embryos (12), and humans (4, 6, 16). However, several investigators have called attention to patches of "basement membranel ike" mater...

Age Related Structural Changes in the Bulbourethral Gland of Gaddi Goat (Capra hircus)

A study was conducted on the bulbourethral glands of 30 Gaddi goats, divided into three groups of 10 animals in each viz; Prepubertal (1 day old to < 18 months of age), Pubertal (18 months to < 5yrs of age) and Postpubertal (>5yrs of age). The study revealed that the glands grew at a faster speed up-to 6 months of postnatal life after which the pace slowed down considerably. Almost 10 times inc...

Prenatal Development of Pelvic Urethra in Goat (Capra hircus)

The study was conducted on the embryo/foeti of goat from 0-150 days of gestation, divided into group I (0-30 days), group II (31-60 days), group III (61-90 days), group IV (91-120 days) and group V (121-150 days of gestation). In group I whole embryo was processed and serial sections were cut whereas, in rest of the groups, pelvic urethra was dissected out and the tissues from the representativ...
