Abstract
The current study was conducted to describe anatomical & histological characteristicsof kidney in Iraqi jerboa (Jaculusjaculus) by taking thirty healthy kidneys from fifteen Iraqijerboa (Jaculusjaculus). The samples were collected from kidney of the jerboa which live in middle of Iraq innajaf desert. Gross anatomical study revealed that the kidney of the jerboa was small relatively, red to brown in color and both kidney are bean like structure located retro-peritoneal in caudal area of upper abdomen on each side of the sub-lumbar region covering by higly attachment fibrous layer of connective tissue with abundant amount of perirenal fat tissue and the right kidney located more cranially than the left one and relatively at same nearest of the medial plan.The histological results revealed that the kidney of jerboa covered by thin capsule. The parenchyma of kidneys had uniform parenchyma at the demarcation between the cortex and medulla. Although,three types were recognized of nephrons, the cortical type which was less numerous and It locates entirely within cortical area. The midcortical nephrons which are moderate in numbersand the mammalian type or medullary type which have numerous of nephron and had a loop of Henle extended deep into medullary area which was characterized by a presence of bundles of tubules.
