Abstract

This histological study of camel rectum was done on 6 samples of dead camel which is obtained from recently died camel belongs to both male and female camel. Wall of rectum in camel was made up of four layers tunica mucosa, tunica submucosa, tunica muscularis and serosa. The lining epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae were three present in tunica mucosa. A loose connective tissue with various amount of blood vessels found in submucosa of rectal wall. A circular layer of muscles and longitudinal layer which was present in outer side in which outer longitudinal muscle layer was thin in campare to inner circular layer of tunica muscularis. Outer most layer of rectal wall was the tunica serosa or adventitia which was madeup of various types of fibers like collagen, reticular and reticular.

Conclusion

Rectal wall of camel rectum was made up of four layers; tunica mucosa, tunica submucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica serosa. Tunica mucosa was the inner most and folded layer of rectal wall. Folds of rectal wall helped in absorption for different nutrients. A loose connective tissue with various amount of blood vessels found in submucosa of rectal wall. Tunica muscularis layer was composed by thick inner circular and thin outer longitudinal layer. Tunica serosa was outermost layer and contained reticular, collagen and elastic fibers.
