A peg cell is a non-ciliated epithelial secretory cell within the uterine tube (oviduct or fallopian tube). [1] These cells represent one of three epithelial cell types found within the normal fallopian tube epithelium and only make up around 10% of the total number of cells. The other two cell types are ciliated columnar and intercalary cells. [1]
Uterus didelphys (from Ancient Greek di- 'two' and delphus 'womb'; sometimes also uterus didelphis) represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Müllerian ducts fails to occur. As a result, there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and possibly a double vagina ...
In place of the uterus and vagina, non-mammal vertebrate groups have an unmodified oviduct leading directly to a cloaca, which is a shared exit-hole for gametes, urine, and feces. Monotremes (i.e. platypus and echidnas ), a group of egg-laying mammals, also lack a uterus, vagina, and vulva, and in that respect have a reproductive system ...

The decidua is the modified mucosal lining of the uterus (that is, modified endometrium) that forms every month, in preparation for pregnancy. It is shed off each month when there is no fertilized egg to support. [1] The decidua is under the influence of progesterone. Endometrial cells become highly characteristic.
The perimetrium (or serous coat of uterus) is the outer serosal layer of the uterus, derived from the peritoneum overlying the uterine fundus, and can be considered a visceral peritoneum. It consists of a superficial layer of mesothelium , and a thin layer of loose connective tissue beneath it.
What are the health complications of uterus didelphys? According to Oller, “With uterine didelphys there is a higher risk of miscarriage, preterm labor, breech presentation, the need for a ...
Adenomyosis is the growth of the endometrium into the muscle layer of the uterus (the myometrium). Endometriosis is the growth of tissue similar to the endometrium, outside the uterus. [16] Endometrial hyperplasia; Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the human female genital tract.
