| Abstract | ||
| The study showed that the seminal vesicle in ram and buck posses folded mucous membrane. Its type classified as a simple columnar epithelium with basal cells in between which characterized by spherical tends to ovoid nuclei. The gland was classified as tubuloalveolar gland and sometime compound tubular gland according to the section of the gland. The capsule of the gland formed from loose connective tissue (collagen and smooth muscle fibers) giving positive reaction with masson’s trichromestain. The bulbourethral gland have secretory units in different shapes and sizes. In histological section appeared alveolar, saccular or tubular shape, for this reason the gland classified as tubuloalveolar gland. The capsule of bulbourethral gland composed of dense connective tissue involves collagen, elastic, smooth muscle and striated muscle fibers. The capsule send septi which invaded in between the secretary units and continuous with lamina properia of submucosa and dividing the gland to tubules. The prostate gland is disseminated type in ram and buck generally (no body of gland). The glandular tissue part distributed around the pelvic urethra embedded in the wall of pelvic urethra. The prostate gland distinguished histologically as a tubuloalveolar type. These alveoli lining by simple columnar epithelium, the histological section showing the lining epithelium of the prostate gland duct changed to pseudostratified columnar epithelium. The histological results revealed the myoepithelial cells surrounding the alveoli of prostate gland. The gland secretion is seromucoid secretion which give positive reaction with PAS stain. The histological section the glandular part of vas deference ampullae classified as branched tubular lumen due to many folds of lining epithelium projected inside the tubular lumen of glandular tissue of ampullae. The section of the glands showed narrow and wide tubules lining simple columnar epithelium and pseudostratified columnar epithelium characterized by rounded nuclei. It was concluded from this study that there was no histological difference between the accessory sex glands of rams and bucks. | ||
