[Biomorphosis of the mucosa of human oviducts: contribution to the problem of morphology and aging of the uterine tubes. I. Introduction, literature, first results]

Abstract

At present the findings on the morphology of the Fallopian tube, published in the literature, allow only a incomplete analysis of the aging process being in the oviduct. This situation appears from the fact that many results on the structural changes proceeding complexly in the time from the embryo-fetal development to the senium were often published in the form of single findings, hitherto. Furthermore, systematic facts on the structural changes of the oviductal organ taking place in the time transitions between the phases of the woman's life were only sparsely described. Hence it followed to begin systematic investigations on the biomorphosis of the human oviduct using a extensive material of organs. Starting from results published in the literature, in this publication problems of the biomorphosis of the Fallopian tube are shown, and first our own findings are represented.
