Oviduct: ampulla
The oviductal mucosa is lined by simple columnar epithelium with cilia and unicellular glands. Ciliated cells and their basal bodies are well demonstrated. Secretory cells (peg cells) lack cilia; their nutritive secretory product frequently protrudes into the lumen prior to release. Lamina propria is the connective tissue layer of the mucosa, underlying the epithelium. 1000x
