Abstract: Renal artery is one of the important vessels that seem the thickness of its lumen and different layers change at different ages and sexes. This study was performed on 24 sheep. After tissue processing and paraffin sectioning, the sections were stained with Green Masson,s Trichrom and ocular micrometry were used for study of lumen, tunica intima, tunica media and tunica adventitia in two sexes and ages. The thickness of lumen in male significantly was more than female in adult sheep but tunica intima, tunica media and tunica adventitia in two sexes did not show any significal differences at different ages. The thickness of lumen, tunica media and tunic adventitia in 2 sexes increased from neonate lamb to adult sheep and these increasing were significant.
