The health of oviduct circulation is very important for normal egg production. The
present work describes the histology and histochemistry of vessels of different types
on the oviduct of quail. Arteria, venae and lymphatics of the oviduct were described
clearly. In addition, special vascular elements were observed presenting circular, longitudinal
and oblique smooth muscle fibres on the blood vessel wall. Glomus cells
were observed at typical glomus vessels, atypical glomus vessels and on the wall of
some of arteria and arteriolae. Also, spirally oriented blood vessels were observed.
Dark brown pigment was detected in the wall of arteria, venae, lymphatics and the
special types of blood vessels.
