Morphological and Scanning Electron Microscopy Studies of the Stomach of the Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)

This study was performed to investigate the histomorphological characters of the Egyptian fruit bat stomach using the light and scanning electron microscope. The stomachs of fourteen adult normal healthy Egyptian fruit bats of both sexes were used. Stomach was tubular with an elongated fundic part a...
