Scanning Electron Microscopic Observation on the Rat Oviductal Epithelium in each Segment during Normal Sexual Cycle

백서난관상피(白鼠卵管上皮)의 주사현미경적(走査電子顯微鏡的) 관찰(觀察)

Scanning electron microscopic observation of the oviductal epithelium was carried out on the virgin white Wistar rat during normal sexual cycle, and obtained the results as follows; Rat oviductal epithelium during the normal sexual cycle generally consisted of two types of cells: ciliated and non-ciliated cell. The ciliated cells had cilia which was measured $0.2{\mu}$ in width and $3-5{\mu}$ in length. According to the length of microvilli and the distribution in each segment, the non-ciliated cell was further subdivided into four types of cells; NC-I, NC-II, NC-III, and NC-IV. The morphologic characteristics of each type of cells were also ascertained by SEM observations.

정상(正常) 성주기(性週期)를 나타내는 백서(白鼠)의 난관(卵管)에서 각(各) 영역(領域)에 분포(分布)하는 상피세포(上皮細胞)를 주사전자현미경(走査電子顯微鏡)으로 관찰(觀察)하여 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 즉, 백서난관상피세포(白鼠卵管上皮細胞)는 섬모세포와 무(無)섬모세포로 구성되며, 무(無)섬모세포는 4가지 세포형(細胞型)으로 구별(區別)할 수 있고 또한 이들 각형(各型)의 세포(細胞)는 성주기시(性週期時) 특정영역(特定領域)에 분포(分布)하였다.
