摘要
A histologic study of oviducts in the rabbit, rhesus monkey, and human female revealed significant differences, especially in the isthmus and intramural portions. In the rabbit, polyplike mucosal projections at the uterotubal junction may block this area irrespective of muscle contraction. In the monkey there appears, in the uterotubal junction, a dense connective tissue zone between the lumen and inner circular muscle layer. While the muscle may act as a constricting sphincter, the role of this connective tissue is yet to be determined. In the human female an inner longitudinally arranged muscle layer appears in the isthmus and intramural portion of the tube occupying the same location as the connective tissue zone in the monkey. A sphincter-like action is, therefore, possible. Thus, species differences in this area emphasize the need for caution when a variety of animals is used as experimental models for the study of oviducts in human reproduction. © 1968.
