- Zona pellucida in upper left corner
- Follicular cells fill most of the field
- Basement membrane (white at bottom) separating the granulosa cells from the theca interna (with RBC in a vessel in it)

Wall of oviduct


Epithelial lining of oviduct


Oviduct wall with ciliated and secretory cells
Note capillaries in lamina propria to form the transudate of the oviductal fluid
