- Abstract
Six males ferret used in this present study, the age of animal (four-six) years. The head of epididymis located at the lateral aspect of the testicule, it consist of head, body and tail. The efferent ductules connected with head of epididymis, the epithelial lining of the efferent ductules and the epididymis head in the ferret were pseudo stratified ciliated columnar. Sterocilia similar to brush border projected from free surface of epithelial linings of efferent ductules and the epididymis head. The type of epithelial cells found in the mucosa of epididymis head includes, basal, principle, clear and apical cells, beside the intra epithelial cavities were distributed among the epithelial cells of the efferent ductules and epididymis head. The efferent ductules was surrounded by abundant of smooth muscle fibers arranged in circular arrangement. The rete testis of the ferret testicule was large and lined with simple cuboidal cells.
