MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UTERUS OF WHITE OUTBRED RATS

Аннотация

Using light microscopy methods, the histological structure of the uterus of white outbred rats at the level of the body and cervix was clarified. It has been established that the walls of the right and left uterine horns grow together, forming a double body and neck. Whose cavities remain separated from each other by a thin septum and open into the vagina with two separate openings. The area of fusion of the medial walls is characterized by the union of the perimeter and the supravascular layer of the myometrium. The data obtained can be used to illuminate the relevant sections of reference and educational literature when writing sections on evolutionary, functional, comparative species morphology and reproductive biology. Based on the histological study, it was established that in rats, despite the general type of uterine structure, there are significant differences that mainly affect their lower segment at the borders.
