Histochemical Study of Immature Blackbuck Pancreas in Al-Najaf, Iraq

The study examined the histological features of the pancreas in 20 immature male and female Iraqi blackbuck. It found that goblet cells were underdeveloped and crowded, and the position and characteristics of centroacinar cells suggest a role in fluid and secretion transport within the duct system. There were no significant differences in the distribution of Langerhans islets' cells between males and females or across different parts of the pancreas. These findings provide insights into the unique pancreatic physiology and potential pathology in this species.
