Extract

Several authors have been studying the microvascularization pattern of the ovary in different animals. To determine the microvascularization pattern using the corrosive-resin casting method, casts of the vascular network were prepared and examined by scanning electron microscopy. However, the same procedure has rarely been used to study the microvascularization pattern of the uterine tube itself. The microvascularization of the uterine tube has always been associated microvascularization studies of the ovary. This study analyses the microvascularization of the uterine tube, pointing out differences between the region of the tube itself and it's infundibulum. In this study we used uterine tubes from adult female rabbits. Anesthesia was carried out with Ketalar (5mg/kg body weight); after that saline solution and 2,5% glutaraldehyde were injected through the left ventricle. This procedure was followed by mercox 2B injection. After polymerization the samples were collected and immersed in warm water (60°C). Then samples underwent tissue digestion.
