Anatomo-topographic and histo-cytological study of dromedary’s spleen in Algeria

“…For the third spleen it was found that the area occupied by the stroma was 18.64%, of which the area occupied by the capsule was 8.27%, and that occupied by the trabecula was 10.37%, and the area occupied by the red pulp was 68.27%, and that occupied by the parenchyma was 12.52%, of which the area occupied by the PALS was 3.98%, and that occupied by inactive follicles was 5.28%, while that occupied by active follicles was 3.26%, and the total white pulp occupied an area of 12.52%. For the fourth spleen it was found that the area occupied by the stroma was 23.86%, of which the area occupied by the capsule was 11.57%, and that occupied by the trabecula was 12.29%, and the area occupied by the red pulp was 57.28%, and that occupied by the parenchyma was 18.12%, of which the area occupied by the PALS was 1.18%, and that occupied by inactive follicles was 8.12%, while the area occupied by active follicles was 8.82%, and that occupied by the total white pulp was 18.12%, these data are similar to the results of the researchers [1] and [4] and [5].…”
