The differences of the oviductal ampulla secretory cells during follicular and luteal phases in the ewes - from SEM and TEM point of view

The aim of the present study was to differentiate the ultrastructure of secretory cells in the ampulla region of the sheep oviduct during follicular and luteal phases of estrous cycle. Fourteen ewes were slaughtered either at the peak od follicular or luteal phase for sample collection. Ampulla were...
