What is it about?
This study prove that the nasal plane (Planum nasale) present in camel (Camelus dromedarius). Furthermore, it is the first description of the gross and primary microscopic anatomy as well as the epidermal ultrastructure of the camel nasal plane.

Why is it important?
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is the first description of the nasal plane in dromedary camel.This study would be used as a base for further studies regarding the tissue architecture of the camel rhinarium, particularly, its dermatoglyphic pattern or nasal print.
Perspectives
There is always a place for exploration, although nasal plane or the nose-pad, is a well studied gross anatomical structure, easily identified by the naked eyes, did not noticed in camel until this study. This is may be because its unexpected location, and also of its small size. I hope that this study provide new data to the field of comparative anatomy .
