  The quail acts as a model for recent experimental studies and its oviduct development is of special interest. This study was carried out on 61 adult female Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) collected from quail farms in Assiut and South Valley Universities in order to characterize the morphological features of the uterus during the post-hatching life. The process of development was consisted of three stages: undifferentiated, differentiated and adult stage. The undifferentiated stage began from day of hatching till 25-days old age and the oviduct was divided into cranial, middle and caudal parts. The caudal part (the future uterus and vagina) was represented by a simple wall of a single layer of simple columnar epithelial cells resting on subepithelial undifferentiated mesenchymal cells with many mitotic divisions. At 20 days old, the mucosa is thrown into distinct mucosal folds as w.. Read More»
