Lea and Schmidt-Nielsen (1962) studied 23 regions of the skin of two Saharan camels. Their findings indicated that the sweat glands were present in all the skin areas studied with the exception of the lips, extemal nares and the perianal region
The sweat glands were found in all the body areas examined except the lips, the external nares and the perianal region
Summary
A light and electron microscopic study was made on the sweat glands of the dromedary camel using 42 experimental animals. Few studies have as yet been made on the structure of the sweat glands of the dromedary camel. Dowling and Nay (1962) stated that the secretory cells of the sweat glands of the camel were cuboidal to columnar. Lea and Schmidt-Nielsen (1962) studied 23 regions of the skin of two Saharan camels Their findings indicated that the sweat glands were present in all the skin areas studied with the exception of the lips, extemal nares and the perianal region. On the other hand numerous studies have been made on the structure of the sweat glands in other mammals. It is generally held that the sweat glands of mammals are of the classical apocrine type. It is clear that there has so far been no ultrastructural study of the glands of this animal
