Ultrastructure of pancreatic endocrine cells of the single hump camel (Camelus dromedarius)

The present study was undertaken to provide an ultrastructural identiﬁ cation of the different cells in the islets of the camel pancreas. Tissue samples were obtained from ten healthy, adult camels and processed for electron microscopy. The islets are composed of abundant, centrally located beta;...
