Histology of the uterine tube
Make it clearer
The wall of the uterine tube has three components: an inner mucosa, a layer of smooth muscle, and an outer serosa.
Picture a passage with an inner lining, a muscular sleeve, and an outer covering. The mucosa is lined by simple columnar epithelium. Some of its cells have cilia that project into the lumen.
