Histomorphogical study on the ductus epididymis of camel (Camelus dromedarius)

Abstract

The epididymal tubules were made up of the ductus epididymis, which was very wavy. The epididymis's head, body, and tail of the epididymis were each a separate area. Circular smooth muscle fibers, a thin layer of loose epididymal connective tissue, and implanted blood and lymphatic vessels encircled the ductus epididymis. There were four main cell types in the ductus epididymis epithelium: primary cells, basal cells, apical cells, and dark cells. This epithelium was a pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.
