Scanning electron microscopic studies on the female genitalia of camel (Camelus dromedarius)

The present study was conducted on the tubular female genitalia of three adult camels. The oviduct was mainly lined with ciliated and non ciliated cells whose pattern varied in different segments. The uterus and the uterine horn were mainly lined with non ciliated cells; however, few ciliated cells were also seen. Large number of glandular openings were observed. The cervix had very few ciliated cells while in the vagina the ciliated cells were absent. The distribution and number of the mucosal folds also varied amongst the different segments.
