Human fallopian tubes were examined after injection with epoxy rems, after formation of tissue blocks, and after sectioning the blocks with a diamond saw. Calibers of arteries and veins were measured in these transparent sections. Fallopian cubes of women in the reproductive phase of life receive their blood mainly from the ovarian artery, while those of postmenopausal women predominantly get their blood from the uterine artery. There are special arterial cushions around the intramural part of the tube, around the abdominal os of the tube, and within the mucosal folds of the ampulla. The hypothesis is advanced that the cushions may play a role as sphincters, and in the case of the mucosal folds as an arterial, pulse-triggered pump for egg transport. The ovarian fimbria contains muscle bundles which may be important for the capture of the egg.
在注入环氧树脂、制成组织块并用金刚石锯对组织块切片后，对人体输卵管进行了检查。在这些透明切片中测量了动脉和静脉的管径。育龄期女性的输卵管主要从卵巢动脉获得血液供应，而绝经后女性的输卵管则主要从子宫动脉获得血液供应。在输卵管壁内部、输卵管腹腔口周围以及壶腹部黏膜皱襞内存在特殊的动脉垫。有人提出一种假说，即这些动脉垫可能起到括约肌的作用，而对于黏膜皱襞而言，可能作为一种由动脉脉冲触发的泵，用于输送卵子。卵巢伞含有肌束，这对于捕获卵子可能很重要。
