Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 7 months ago The oviduct is also called a fallopian tube or uterine tube.
Oviduct has three parts:
◦ Infundibulum
◦ Ampulla
◦ IsthmusThe lining epithelium is simple columnar/pseudostratified
columnar with motile cilia. Both ciliated and nonciliated cell types
possess microvilli.Lamina muscularis is absent. Lamina propria-submucosa
consist of loose connective tissue with many plasma cells, mast cells,
eosinophils.
In ampulla, the tunica mucosa is highly infolded forming primary,
secondary and tertiary folds, while in isthmus region only primary
folds are present.
Tunica muscularis comprises of inner circular smooth muscles with
isolated bundles of longitudinal and oblique muscle fibers.
Tunica serosa is reflection of peritoneum having fibrous tissues
