HISTOLOGICAL VARIATIONS IN FALLOPIAN TUBE DURING VARIOUS PHASES OF OESTRUS CYCLE
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ANATOMICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The fallopian tube is the vital part of reproductive system where the fertilization of ova takes place. It also acts as a transporting channel for passing the ova and the products of conception to the uterus. To perform these vital functions fallopian tubes undergo various histological variations during various phases of oestrus cycle. Material & Methods: Histology of fallopian tubes of 50 female rabbits were studied by using H & E staining. Study of the cytology of vagina of the animal decided the phase of the oestrus cycle i.e. proestrus, oestrus, metaestrus and diestrus phases by Papaniculou's staining. Observations and Results: The study revealed histological changes in relation to various phases of oestrus cycle. Epithelial surface area was maximum in oestrus phase. Secretory cells were most active in metaestrus and diestrus phases. Cilliary cells were prominent in proestrus and oestrus phases. The vascular activity was found maxim um in oestrus phase.
