Abstract
This study was held to examine one-humped camel (Camel
dromedaries) extraocular muscles as well as their innervation, and the
immune expression lodged in the muscle fibers. Fourteen eyeballs from
native Egyptian eye camel of both sex right and left were collected. Extra
ocular muscle processing and preparation of tissue samples took place
after being immersed in 10% formalin and left for seven days then
sectioned and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Also, with
special stain for detection of mucopolysaccharides and to examine
muscle and nerve trunk affinity to silver stain. All tissue sections were
subjected to immunohistochemical technique to determine muscle spindle
and the nerve trunk in addition to Golgi tendon organ. Results showed
that the extraocular muscle consisted of seven muscle four recti and two
oblique and one retractor bulbi muscle. Each muscle had muscle spindle
encapsulated with a connective tissue capsule with intrafusal muscle and
periaxial space, also the Golgi tendon organ found at musculotendinous
junction. Immunoexpression of the seven-muscle showed varying degree
of immunostaining affinity to S-100 protein.
