Abstract:
Morphological studies were carried out on six small
intestine of the one humped camel. The measurements of
the long axis of the body and the length of each segment
of the small intestine were carried in five she-camels by a
measuring tape. Topographical study of the small intestine
was made in one adult healthy dromedary fixed by
perfusion with 10% formalin. While the long axis of the
body measured 2.87 m, the small intestine measured
10.97± 0.66 m only. It was observed that the major part of
the small intestine was situated in the right side of the
abdomen. This study has designated a palpable bony
structure to each part of the small intestine and hence the
position of all segments can easily be determined.
