[Morphogenesis of the tubo-uterine junction in the human fetus]. 1985

A Rebollo Cuadro, and J Puerta Fonolla, and A Peña Melian, and M L Blanco Caneda

The utero-tubal junction morphology has been analysed by means of the uterus and tubes study of 37 human foetuses and new-born infants between the 15th gestational week and the 3rd life week. Being difficult to identify it before the 20th gestational week, it is possible to recognize the uterotubal junction by the muscular fibers traject, as well as by the arrangement of the reticuline fibers and mesenchymal cells of the submucosa. During the previously reported period we haven't observed any sphincterian structure at the utero-tubal junction level; thus, we believe that the closure mechanism is purely functional one.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009024 Morphogenesis The development of anatomical structures to create the form of a single- or multi-cell organism. Morphogenesis provides form changes of a part, parts, or the whole organism.
D005187 Fallopian Tubes A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.

D005260 Female Females
D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D014599 Uterus The hollow thick-walled muscular organ in the female PELVIS. It consists of the fundus which is the site of EMBRYO IMPLANTATION and FETAL DEVELOPMENT. Beyond the isthmus at the perineal end of fundus, is CERVIX UTERI (the neck) opening into VAGINA. Beyond the isthmi at the upper abdominal end of fundus, are the FALLOPIAN TUBES.
