The efferent ductules are lined by a simple cuboidal epithelium, with two cell types: ciliated and non-ciliated cells. The epididymal duct is lined by a pseudostratified epithelium with stereocilia, that is made up of four cell types: principal, basal, apical and migratory cells (intraepithelial lymphocytes). Although there are some clear differences, the histological appearance of the excurrent ducts and of the component epithelia of the epididymis, is remarkably similar to that reported for the others mammals Describimos las estructuras de los conductos eferentes y epid¨ªdimo en el mono (Cebus apella), usando microscop¨ªa de luz. Los conductos eferentes estaban tapizados por un epitelio linear, de tipo c¨²bico simple y con una poblaci¨®n celular que comprend¨ªa c¨¦lulas ciliadas y no-ciliadas. El epitelio de revestimiento del epid¨ªdimo era pseudoestratificado, observ¨¢ndose cuatro tipos de c¨¦lulas: principales, basales, apicales y linfocitos. El presente trabajo denota las particularidades del epitelio de los conductos eferentes y epid¨ªdimo estableciendo analog¨ªas con otras especies de mam¨ªferos %K Conductos eferentes %K Epid¨ªdimo %K Mono %K Microscop¨ªa de luz %K Efferent ductules %K Epididymis %K Monkey %K Light microscopy %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-98682002000100002
