Cilia

The simple columnar epithelium from a monkey oviduct possesses cilia, motile structures that are greater than one micron in height. The core of a cilium contains microtubules which emanate from the basal body present at the base of each cilium. Non-ciliated, secretory cells are also present in this epithelium. 1000x
