AbstractThe current study’s goals are to investigate the foetal adrenal gland’s histochemistry. Twenty-five foetuses at various developmental stages were used for conventional histological and histochemical techniques. Alkaline phosphatase activity was discovered in the same locations as PAS positive diastase-digested material. Neuroblasts, blood vessels, the adrenal capsule, the cells of the zona glomerulosa, the innermost part of the zona fasiculata and the foetal zone were all shown to have both alkaline phosphatase and PAS positive diastase resistant material. The blood vessels and a few isolated cells in the cortex and medulla were found to have the enzyme acid phosphatase. In conclusion, although it has unique characteristics, the histochemistry of the developing camel foetal adrenal gland was generally comparable to that of the foetal adrenal glands of other domestic animals.
