Histology of lung parenchyma of camel was studied by using light microscopy. Intrapulmonary bronchi in lung of camel were lined by a respiratory epithelium. The tela submucosa of bronchi of camel was loose connective tissue with many elastic fibers, smooth muscle and cartilage. No cartilage and gland were present in bronchioles of camel. Respiratory bronchioles were absent in camel. Pores of kohn were found in alveolar wall in camel. The visceral pleura completely covered both lungs. It consisted of squamous mesothelial cells with varying amounts of elastic fibers and dense irregular connective tissue.
