Oviduct: ampulla
The ampullary wall has a highly infolded mucosa. Because a muscularis mucosae is lacking, lamina propria and submucosa form a single connective tissue layer. Muscularis externa consists of inner circular and outer longitudinal layers that intermingle. The oviduct (Fallopian tube) is surrounded by a serosa and suspended by a mesosalpinx from the broad ligament. 400x
