HISTOCHEMISTRY OF DORSAL LACRIMAL GLAND IN CAMEL (Camelus dromedarius)
نویسنده
چکیده
Lacrimal glands of mammals synthesise and secrete an aqueous solution in which different chemical substances are present i.e. protein and mucosubstances. The objective of current study was to determine of mucopolysachharides of camel lacrimal glands. Ten pairs of dorsal lacrimal glands, from ten adult camels were examined for normal histological and histochemical findings at the Mashhad abattoir, northeast of Iran. In camel, dorsal lacrimal gland was elongated with irregular outline and located in dorsolateral part of the eyeball. Histological studies showed that, dorsal lacrimal gland consisted of tubuloalveolar serous units separated by dense sheets of connective tissue into numerous small and large lobules. Alcian blue and Periodic acid shiff staining were used for histochemical studies. Mucosubstance histochemistry revealed secretory units contain acidic and neutral glycoproteins with different staining pattern.

Morphological and histochemical study of the abomasal epithelium in camel (Camelus dromedarius) wascarried out by light and scanning electron microscopes. The lining of the abomasum was divided into fourregions, i.e. cardiac, pseudocardiac, fundic and pyloric. Our investigation revealed that the cardiac andpseudocardiac regions occupy a wide part of the abomasum in camel and it reaches approxim...

A histomorphological study of the thyroid glands of 15 healthy camels (Camelus dromedarius) of different sex group A (Males) and group B (Females), were investigated for gross and microscopic anatomy. Gross studies revealed that thyroid glands were located in between the third ring of trachea and the laryngopharynx portion of the pharynx and had two lobes, connected by an isthmus. They appeared...
