The surface patterns of the chicken hen oviductal mucosa apposing an ovum were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The distended infundibular mucosa consisted of folds that were separated by interfold spaces of similar width and longitudinal orientation. The epithelium, which lined the base of the interfold spaces, was nonciliated and appeared to correspond to the glandular grooves, which are the sites of sperm storage in the infundibulum. The presence of an ovum in the magnum or isthmus resulted in the flattening of the mucosal folds and occlusion of the oviductal lumen. The uterine mucosa was slightly compressed when apposed to an egg and wide interfold spaces were evident.
通过扫描电子显微镜检查了鸡输卵管黏膜与卵子相邻处的表面形态。扩张的漏斗部黏膜由褶皱组成，这些褶皱被宽度相似且呈纵向排列的褶皱间间隙分隔开。位于褶皱间间隙底部的上皮无纤毛，似乎与腺沟相对应，腺沟是漏斗部储存精子的部位。卵子存在于蛋白分泌部或峡部会导致黏膜褶皱变平，输卵管管腔闭塞。当子宫黏膜与卵子相邻时会稍有压缩，褶皱间间隙明显变宽。
