16.26 Oviduct

Version française

Epithelial lining of the mucosa of an ampulla of the oviduct of a monkey.

The two main types of columnar cells that compose this epithelium are easily recognized in this thin section.

While the ciliated cells (*) show, at their apices under the cilia, a thin layer heavily stained with eosin, the non-ciliated glandular cells (arrows) do not show an equivalent eosinophilic plate.

The vascularized lamina propria (LP) is also identified.
