The ultrastructure of the epididymal duct of the dog was divided into three morphofunctional segments: initial, middle and terminal and the cellular population of the lining epithelium is formed from principal, apical, basal and clear cells.
Abstract
The ultrastructure of the epididymal duct of the dog is described in this paper. The epididymis was divided into three morphofunctional segments: initial, middle and terminal. The cellular population of the lining epithelium is formed from principal, apical, basal and clear cells. The peritubular stroma and the tubular interstitium surrounding the epithelium are also described. The outcome is compared to the description made in other species of mammals.
