title: The fine structure of the boundary tissue of the seminiferous tubule of the camel (Camelus dromedarius).
abstract: An ultrastructural study of the boundary tissue of the seminiferous tubule of the camel reveals that it consists of three lamellae; inner fibrous, inner cellular and outer cellular. The inner lamella is subdivided into two homogeneous layers enclosing a third one that contains collagenous fibres and fine filaments. The inner cellular lamella consists of several layers of myoid cells; each layer is separated from the adjacent layer by homogeneous material and varying amounts of collagen. The outer cellular lamella consists predominantly of fibrocytes together with some fibroblasts and scattered collagen.
