Abstract

The histology of pancreas of Huso huso has been studied using H&E, Van Gisson, Maldonado and Gomori's stains. It is a compact encapsulated gland lying in the concavity of the intestine. The acinus cells have large eosinophilic granules in their apical region. There are large arteries, many nerve bundles and lymphatic nodules between acinus. The duct system of this gland is like a compound gland. The islets are distributed between exocrine pancreas and their size are 100μ-200μ. The cells of endocrine are arranged in cord shape and A-cells are more than B-cells.
