![]() The adrenal medulla contained mostly glandular cells, few ganglion cells and capillaries. Some cells of zona fasciculate were binucleated. The zona fasciculata was the largest of the zones containing polyhedrally shaped cells with less basophilic nuclei and very foamy cytoplasm. The adrenal gland cortex contained zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculate and zona reticulata. The renal medullar was composed of Henles loop and collecting ducts. At the hilus, the renal artery and vein, ureters, and nerve fibres were surrounded by adipose tissue. The cortex contained renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubules, distal convoluted tubules and juxtaglomerullar complex. The kidney parenchyma was composed of large peripheral cortex and smaller centrally placed medulla. The kidney was covered by a capsule of periodic acid of shiff (PAS) positive connective tissue fibres. The kidneys and adrenal glands of the African palm Squirrel ( Epixerus ebii), were subjected to histological and mucin histochemical studies. ![]() ![]() * Department of Veterinary Anatomy, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, NigeriaĬorreo-E: A quien debe dirigirse la correspondencia (To whom correspondence should be addressed) ![]() Ikpegbu Ekele *,1, Nlebedum Uchenna *, and Ibe C.S.
