| Abstract | ||||
| The prenatal differentiation of the camel’s epididymal ductal epithelium was investigated at the light microscopic level. The epididymal analage, the mesonephric duct, was first identified at 1.5 cm CRVL fetus and was lined by a single layer of undifferentiated cuboidal cells. The epididymal ductal epithelium was nearly differentiated and had been found to include at least five distinct cell types namely principal, basal, apical, clear and halo cells in 115 CVRL. Steriocilia-like processes were evident at the apical surface of the principal cells 69 cm CVRL. In conclusion, the epididymal ductal epithelium of camel during the prenatal period had been found to undergo gradual differentiation to various distinctive cell types With modifications on the apical surface of the Principal cells. | ||||
