Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 10 months ago The fallopian tube stretches from the ovary’s corresponding location to the uterus’s terminus. It measures around 9-11 cm long. At the end of the ovary, the tube extends into the peritoneal cavity and approximately consists of 25 finger-like projections called fimbriae. The fallopian tube is enclosed in a peritoneal fold at the upper border of the wide ligament during its extrauterine travel. The mucosal membrane, smooth muscle wall, and serosal coat are the three layers that make up the fallopian tube.
Flattened mesothelial cells line the serosa. There are two layers to the muscularis mucosae: an outer longitudinal layer and an inner circular layer. In the intramural length of the tube, there is also an inner longitudinal layer that spans 2 cm laterally. The muscular coat’s bulk is formed by the inner circular layer. Smooth muscle cells are intermingled with loose connective tissue in the outer longitudinal layer.
