Anatomical and morphological study of the liver of One-humped camel

In this study, 12 livers of One-humped camel (6 each sex) were obtained from Esfahan abattoir. The glands washed and cleaned from lymphatic nodes, adipose and additional tissues. The colored resin polyacrylic polyvinyl and latex were injected via portal vein and hepatic artery and the casts of these vessels were studied. The anatomical and morphological results showed that the lobulation of the liver in the one-humped camel is similar to that of the two-humped camel and contains right, quadrate, left, small portal and caudate lobes. Portal vein in camel was divided into five branches contained cranial, caudal, right, left and dorsal veins. Each branch produced smaller branches.
