In this study, the anatomical features of male attachment genital glands (glandula genitales accessoriae) of Morkaraman sheep were analyzed by macroscopic and histological methods. For this purpose, 10 glandulae (gll.) Genitales accessoriae belonging to 10 male morkaraman sheep weighing 36.1 ± 1.7 kg, aged 1.5-2 years were used. After the cut, additive reproductive glands (ampulla ductus deferentis, glandula vesicularis, prostata and glandula bulbourethralis) were collected. The length and width of the diapers were measured with a digital caliper. For histological examination, 6-7 µm thick sections were taken from tissue samples which were passed through the routine histological stages. The histological sections were stained with Mallory's triple staining technique. The stained preparations were examined under Olympus DP71 brand research microscope. Morphometric examinations revealed that the ampulla ductus deferentis consisted of a shaped enlargement in the last part, and that the glandula (gl.) Vesicularis was located in the caudal of collum vesica urinaria and located in the dorso-lateral part of the pelvic urethra. It was found that the prostate gland consisted only of pars disseminata and was spread in the wall of the pelvic urethra. Glandula bulbourethralis was found as a pair of oval structures located on the last part of the pelvic urethra. Histologic examinations revealed that the gl. vesicularis was composed of tubulo-alveolar glands showing numerous branches. Ampulla ductus deferentis tunica (t). mucosa was a pseudo-multilayer prismatic epithelium. Prostate; urethra was found within the propria of the tubuloalveolar gland consisting of a single-layer prismatic epithelium. Glandula bulbourethralis has t. mucosa, t. muscularis and t. adventitia layers. A single flowing channel of the diaper was detected. Tunica serosa penetrated the inner regions and divided the organ into lobes and lobules. In addition to abundant elastic yarns, many serous glands were detected in the lamina propria. As a result; although the histological and anatomical features of the male attachment genital glands in morkaraman sheep show some structural differences, that they are generally similar to those reported in other species.
