Abstract
The present study was carried out to determine the detailed histological
and cytological features of the excurrent ducts of the male reproductive system in
the rhesus monkey. The excurrent ducts show a regional difference in their histological
features. The use of some of these features as histological markers and their
possible functional significance are discussed.
The epithelial cells in the different components of the excurrent duct system possess
cytological features which suggest their involvement in absorption and the secretion
of different products into the lumen.
