The surface features of the oviduct of the toad, Bufo melanostictus, was studied under the scanning electron microscope. The epithelial folds show regional variations, being longitudinally disposed in the upper part of the oviduct, spirally arranged in the middle and convoluted in the lower part. There is an abundance of cilia through the oviduct except in the ovisac. Goblet cells are interspersed among the epithelial cells. In between the epithelial folds are openings of tubular secretory glands. During ovulation, there is patchy loss of cilia throughout the oviduct. Most of the goblet cells are empty. On the surface, the cilia are matted together by secretory material which are laid down in layers.
对黑眶蟾蜍输卵管的表面特征进行了扫描电子显微镜研究。上皮褶皱呈现出区域差异，在输卵管上部纵向排列，中部呈螺旋状排列，下部则盘绕。除卵囊外，整个输卵管都有大量纤毛。杯状细胞散布在上皮细胞之间。上皮褶皱之间是管状分泌腺的开口。排卵期间，整个输卵管的纤毛有片状脱落。大多数杯状细胞是空的。在表面，纤毛被分层沉积的分泌物质缠结在一起。
