Micrometrical, histological and histochemical studies on the seminal vesicles of Bakerwali goat (Kangani)

The seminal vesicles glands of adult (29) and senile (6) Bakerwali goat were utilized for recording micrometrical and histological parameters. The seminal vesicles were paired lobular glands with distinct lobulations. Histologically glands were compact compound tubulo-alveolar with lobulated surface. The glands were divided into lobes with a fibro muscular capsule. The glandular parenchyma consisted of alveoli, tubules and ducts which were lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium. In the epithelium three types of cell had been identified viz A, B, C. The central collecting ducts of each lobule was lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Moderate cholesterol was observed at apical and basal border of alveoli and tubules. The secretion and apical blebs exhibited mild to moderate reaction for cholesterol. Many blood vessels, nerves and parasympathetic ganglia were seen in tunica adventitia.
