UTERINE TUBES
The uterine tubes are paired tubes that extend bilaterally from the uterus toward the ovaries.
Also commonly referred to as Fallopian tubes.
WALLS OF UTERINE TUBEMucosaMuscularis Serosa
MUCOSASimple columnar
epithelium with two types of cells
Ciliated and peg cells
• Lamina propria Formed by loose
connective tissue
Ciliated cells are most numerous in the infundibulum and ampulla. The wave of cilia is directed towards the uterus.
Non-ciliated peg cells are secretory cells that produce the fluid that provides
nutritive material for the ova.
MUSCULARIS
organized into an inner thick circular layer and outer thin longitudinal layer.
SEROSA is the
outermost layer of the uterine tube and is composed of mesothelium and a thin layer of connective tissue.
INACTIVE MAMMARY GLAND
• Sparse glandular tissue
Consist of tubules having the appearance of ducts
