Abstract

Motile cilia throughout the bios possess a constant number of fibrils which are arranged in a regular and consistent pattern. Yet, during a study on the fine morphological changes of human uterine epithelium in different phases of the cycle, we observed an impressive number of cilia showing a wide variety of structural anomalies previously unreported in a mammalian tissue. Such a conspicuous deviation from the normal may be relevant for an evaluation of the function of the ciliated cells of the human endometrium. The study was performed on 17 endometrial biopsies obtained from 15 patients in reproductive age at different stages of the menstrual cycle. The patients were seen for minor gynecological affections,
