The topography, morphology and duct system of the pancreas of Camelus dromedarius were studied. The pancrease of the camel is characterised by the presence of Corpus panc reatis, Lobus pancreatis dexter, Lobus pancreatis sinister and a wide Annulus pancrea

The duct system was represented by the major pancreatic duct, while the minor pancrea tic duct was absent.
