Morphological observations on the normal cardiac glands of the camel (Camelus dromedarius)
Abstract:
The camel's stomach consists of 3 compartments. The third one was subdivided according the external and internal appearance into 3 parts: initial dilated part, middle long narrow part and terminal dilated part with a thick wall. The mucosa in the first 2 parts contain simple tubular glands separated by a clearly visible Lamina propria mucosae, heavily infiltrated with lymphocytes which aggregates to form true lymph nodules especially in the retiform of the initial dilated part. It is concluded that these glands are cardiac glands.
