| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The oviduct functions to convey fertilized eggs from the ovary to the uterus. Multiple folds are observed in the luminal sides of the oviducts, which are believed to be important for conveying the eggs. In this study, we found that the basic morphological features of the folds are conserved among mammals, amphibians, and birds, whereas some local features were only observed in specific species. Mathematical simulations revealed that these features can be determined by mechanical forces in the luminal tissues.
