Morfohistología testicular de Ceratophrys ornata (Bell) (Amphibia, Anura, Ceratophryidae)

This paper describes the morphohistological features of the testes of adult Ceratophrys ornata (Bell, 1843) (n = 5) from a wetland agroecosystem of central Argentina. The testes were processed by routine histological techniques, sectioned at 8 µm. The sheets obtained were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome. The gonads are paired, yellowish, elongated contoured organs, 18.58 ± 0.23 mm long and 1.51 ± 0.13 mm wide. Histologically, there is a thin tunica albuginea (6.29 ± 0.83 µm) surrounding the testes. Inside them, there are seminiferous locules measuring 240.64 ± 38.52 �...
