Abstract
The development of uterus in fetuses on 60, 90 and 120 days of gastation and neonates of Korean native goats was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. In the 60-day-old fetuses, the short microvilli were sporadically observed on the luminal surface of the endometrium. 2. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the mucosal folds, polygonal microridges, numerous microvilli, flower-like-buds, and domeshaped or crateriform area were also observed on the luminal surface of endometrium. 3. In the 120-day-old fetuses, the primordial caruncles(nodules) of the endometrium were developed conspicuously and long microvilli were developed densely. 4. In the neonates, the caruncles and microvilli of the endometrium were more developed than those of 120-day-old fetuses.
