MICROMORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF ADRENAL CORTEX OF BLACK BENGAL GOAT (CAPRA HIRCUS)

摘要

The knowledge of histology of adrenal gland is essential for understanding normal physiological and pathological changes in the animal beings. Adrenal gland regulates the stressful condition especially 'fight & flight' response of animals. The hormones mainly glucocorticoides and minerelocorticoides play vital role for maintaining the survivability and productivity of the animal. Goat is considered to posses wide adaptability with the variable climates and stressful conditions. Hossain (1972) and Hakeem et al. (1993) reported on gross and histology of the adrenal gland of goat. Literature on adrenal gland in Black Bengal goat is very limited. Considering the paucity of literature and importance of the gland, the present study is envisaged.
