Abstract
The present study conducted on the ovaries of the native she-camels. Histollically, changes occurred in the graffian follicular wall, represented by extension of folds from follicle wall toword the lumen, shrinkage and hemorrhage appearance, this structure at beginning of formation which termed corpus hemorrhagicum due to present of blood in the destruction follicular antrum, also changes occur on the thecal internal cell, due blood supply lead to large size of the granulose cells to form large and small luteal cells, also luteinization includes hyperatropy and increasing in the cells number, the large luteal cells appear polygonal with spherical and pale-colour nuclei science the small luteal cells occupied small part of luteinizing tissue and locate at the periphery and septtules of the growing corpus luteum, these cells were loaded with fat droplets appear as Vacoules. The corpus luteum was enclosed by collagenous and reticular fibers as well as fibroblasts. This histological components converted to scar tissue represented by the remenants of the connective tissue elements, this structure mentioned corpus albicans. According to the present study, the corpus luteum in the ovaries of the native she-camels were classified into: firstly, corpus luteum periodicum: formed in the fertilization failure case and continue in the maturation phase, then suffering from degeneration later on. Secondly, corpus albicans the corpus luteum periodicum converted to scar tissue and these corpora disappeared later on. Thirdly, corpus luteum of pregnancy formed after sucessed of the fertilization and continue during pregnancy period, and degenerated in the late months of pregnancy
