Abstract
The aim of the present study was to reveal the presence of smooth muscle cells in the quail testis. We used an immunocytochemical and ultrastructural approach. The features of smooth muscle cells were present in the cells of the peritubular tissue and of the tunica albuginea. The peritubular cells formed a pseudo-stratified tissue. We suggest that the smooth muscle cells of the quail testis may be important in testicular contractile processes.Entities:
