Abstract

The ductuli efferentes in the dromedary were lined with low pseudo- stratified columnar epithelium. Two morphologically distinct types of epithelium were detected; both in- cluded ciliated and non-ciliated cells. Close to the rete testis, the epithelium was less vacuolated and the tubules had narrower lumens. The terminal segment epithelium in some areas had regional height var- iations similar in appearance to the initial portion of the epididymal duct but the nuclei maintained a pattern specific to the efferent ductules, not to the initial part of the epididymal duct. Histochemical characteristics of the epithelial cells were investigated using an array of six lectins: Con-A, DBA, MAA, SBA, SNA-1, and WGA. Specific sugar residues
