Abstract:
In the present study, the infundibulum showed two parts viz., funnel and tubal parts. The wall of infundibulum was formed by a tunica mucosa, propria-submucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica serosa from within outwards. The mucosa of infundibular funnel contained smaller and broad unbranched mucosal folds, which increased in number towards the tubal part. The mucosa of infundibular tubal presented well developed tall and short primary folds. The surface epithelium of both infundibular funnel and tubal parts was pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells. Ciliated and non-ciliated tall columnar epithelial cells were predominant in the surface epithelium of the funnel and tubal parts of the infundibulum.
