Histology and Histochemistry of the Adrenal Medulla in Adult Bakerwali Goat

The present study was conducted to record the histology and histochemistry of adrenal medulla in Adult Bakerwali goat. Two distinct zones were observed in adrenal medulla i.e. the outer zone and inner zone. In both zones of the adrenal medulla, two types of cells were observed i.e. the light cells and dark cells. These cells exhibited a strong reaction with Gomori stain(chromaffin cells) whereas the chromaffin granules stained red and pink with the same stain. The adrenal gagmedulla showed mild reaction to carbohydrate and lipid whereas moderate reaction for cholesterol. Sympathetic ganglions were also observed in the adrenal medulla.
