    Abstract:
    A histological study of the testis of the camel has been carried out; this includes the description of the different cell types of the testis, stages and frequency of the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium. The testis is characterized by the presence of abundant Leydig cells found in large masses in the intertubular areas and in the mediastinum. The cycle of the seminiferous epithelium was divided into eight stages (I-VIII) according to the method of Ortavant. The frequency of the stages I-VIII of the cycle is not affected by season and was found as follows: I:21.93%; II: 11.07%; III: 13.42%; IV: 8,24%; V: 10.32%; VI: 9.34%; VII: 9,25%; VIII: 16.43%.
