Histologically, the bulbourethral gland consisted of capsule, interlobular septa, interstitial tissue, glandular alveoli and ducts, in prepubertal and pubertal ram. The glands were tubule alveolar consisting of serous and mucous alveoli duct. The serous alveoli were lined by simple columnar epithelium whereas mucous alveoli were lined by pyramidal shaped tall columnar epithelium. The interlobular duct was lined by pseudostratified epithelium.

Abstract


Histologically, the bulbourethral gland consisted of capsule, interlobular septa, interstitial tissue, glandular alveoli and ducts, in prepubertal and pubertal ram. The glands were tubule alveolar consisting of serous and mucous alveoli duct. The serous alveoli were lined by simple columnar epithelium whereas mucous alveoli were lined by pyramidal shaped tall columnar epithelium. The interlobular duct was lined by pseudostratified epithelium.
