Abstract
The pancreas is an unique exocrine and endocrine gland secrets both enzymes and hormones
respectively.
The pancreas of frugivorous bat Rousettus leschenaulti was consisting of head neck and
bilobed tail or uncinate process.
The length of uncinate ranges between 1.
0 to 1.
7 cm.
Histologically the
exocrine part of pancreas of Rousettus leschenaulti before and after foraging shows different acinar cell
types.
During before foraging stage the pyramid shaped cells with spherical nucleus are the “Active acinar
cells“The size of the nuclui measures between 3.
57µ to 4.
25 µ.
while bats with a
