Some histological observations on the interstitial glands in she _camel ovary

Abstract

Histologically , the interstitial glands in she – camel ovary at one year aged was well- developed and scattered as cords among collage -nous fibers of the stroma in the ovary cortex . The interstitial glands appeared as arboriesed compound branched tubular  glands , which composed of the interstitial polyhedral or round cells with round or oval nuclei . The cytoplasm was clear due to presence of numerous lipid droplets .

    The present study was revealed that the interstitial glands were distributed in the stroma of she – camel ovarian cortex .These glands were adjacent to the blood vessels and atretic follicles. When the animal was advanced in age (3years old) ,the glands will change to simple tubular and decreased in number. Our results about the histological description , was noticed for the first time in the immature she – camel ovaries .
