Histomorphological study of hemal lymph node of the camel (Camelus dromedarius)‎

Abstract EN

The study was carried out to investigate the histomorphology of hemal lymph nodes of camel (Camelus dromedarius) .

The results showed that the hemal lymph node was conical in shape with convex wide base and narrow apex.

It was encapsulated by a thick fibrous connective tissue capsule from which long trabeculae emerge.

The stroma of hemal lymph node consists of randomly distributed lymphatic nodules ,lymphatic cords and hemal sinuses.

Presence of erythrocytes, leukocytes especially lymphocytes ,monocytes, plasma cells, macrophages and megakaryocytes were seen .

Megakaryocytes or giant cells possess an irregularly lobulated nuclei with course chromatin and unapparent nucleoli.
