Light and electron microscopic studies on some lymph nodes of the adult one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius)‎

Abstract EN

Samples from medial retropharyngeal, superficial cervical and deep femoral lymph nodes of four camels were fixed in neutral buffered formalin and prepared for light and electron microscopic examination.

The camel lymph nodes were formed of stromal and parenchyma.

A dense collage nous capsule and trabecular beside fine reticular framework represented the stoma.

The parenchyma was formed of follicular and non-follicular forms of lymph reticular tissue.

The lymphoid follicles were mainly secondary in nature formed of germinal center and outer corona.

Afferent and efferent lymph vessels were noticed at the same area of the capsule.

Capsular, sub scapular, trabecular, per trabecular and parenchyma lymph sinuses were noticed in camel lymph nodes.
