Innervation of the skin of camel (Camelus dromedarius) as revealed by cholinesterase technique.

Skin samples from 4 body sites were taken from 10 camels and histochemically treated for the localization of AChE and BuChE enzymes. The sebaceous and sewat glands were active site for both enzymes. The weat gland were innervated by a plexus of AChE-positive nerve fibers. In the papillary layer, the nerve breaks to form a plexus supplying the blood vessels, from this plexus fibers end in the deep interface of the epidermis. End bulbs and free intraepidermal nerve ending reactive for AChE were demonstrated.
