The prenatal development of the skin in the one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius).
The epidermis of the camel started its development as a single layer of cuboical cells. The second layer occurred at the fetal stage of C RL 5 cm and the intermediate cell layer at the C RL 10 cm-stage. In the C RL 83 cm - fetus the epidermis is differentiated into the Stratum basale, Stratum spinosum, Stratum granulosum and Stratum corneum. In the dermis the collagenic and reticular fibres were observed in the 2 cm - fetus, and the elastic ones at the C RL 20 cm - stage.
