Oviduct at low power.

The oviduct or uterine tube is also known as the Fallopian tube. It has the typical layers of a hollow organ: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa. The mucosa is thrown into numerous major and minor folds. There is no muscularis submucosa. The propria-submucosa is unremarkable. The muscularis contain circular and longitudinal smooth muscles. The serosa contains connective tissue, blood vessels and a surface mesothelium. PK4892-29. Original mag. 5x. H&E. Oviduct. Cortex. Ovary. Female Reproductive system.
