  • Title: Scanning electron microscopy of the bovine, equine, porcine, and caprine uterine tube (oviduct).
    Author: Stalheim OH, Gallagher JE, Deyoe BL.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1975 Aug; 36(08):1069-75. PubMed ID: 1155826.
    Abstract:
    The luminal surface topography of bovine, equine, porcine, and caprine uterine tubes was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The main types of epithelial cells were secretory and ciliated. Both types were more active during estrus. Cilia were observed in both the infundibular and the ampular parts of the uterine tube, but ciliated cells were more numerous than secretory cells on the surface of the fimbriae. Sperm were observed in the ampulla of the uterine tube of the cow 2 hours after artificial insemination.
