Abstract
Sixteen specimens of adrenal glands of both sexes of the adult camels were obtained for studying the distribution
of nerve supply for both the cortex and medulla of the gland. The specimens were fixed in formalin10% , after
24 hours these specimens were sectioned by freezing microtome at 10 µm thickness, followed by staining with
Ramon Cajal method. The results revealed that there was myelinated nerve fibers in the different zones of the
adrenal cortex intermingled with reticular fibers ,while the adrenal medulla was demonstrated the presence of the
sympathetic pregangalionic nerve fibers associated with the nerve cells located in the periphery of the adrenal
medulla
