To summarize, six layers of tissue occur in the funnel region, namely, an outer serous covering, an outer longitudinal muscular layer, a layer of connective tissue, an inner circular layer, a second layer of connective tissue, and an inner mucous layer. The mucous layer is made up of glands, as follows. The unicellular glands occur between the ciliated cells of the epithelium. These glands are found only in the posterior half of this division of the oviduct. The glandular grooves are made up of an accumulation of gland cells at the bottom of the grooves between the secondary folds of the epithelium. These are found in all parts of this division except the extreme posterior part. In the posterior part we find the third type of glands, the tubular variety. The second division of the oviduct, as stated above, is the _albumin-secreting portion_. The funnel division gradually merges into the second portion. These two portions are distinguishable from each other. The walls of the albumin-secreting portion are much thicker and the longitudinal ridges are higher. This section is the longest of the five divisions, measuring from 40 to 42 centimeters in length, or more than half the length of the oviduct. The albumin division terminates rather abruptly into the third division, the isthmus (Fig. 59, _A_). It is probable that the secretion of albumin is not confined to the cells of the second division; yet we are safe in saying that the major portion is formed here. The folds of mucous membrane in this division are thicker and higher than in the funnel, due to their containing cells of the high columnar type, and to the fuller development of the glands which are of the tubular variety. The muscular layer is heavier, and therefore the muscular power to force along the tubes’ contents is greater. In the formation of the mucous folds we find, in transverse sections, that the central core is made up of connective tissue which carries blood-vessels and nerve filaments, as in other similar glandular structure. The epithelium contains glandular cells of two varieties, namely, the ciliated, columnar variety, and the unicellular, goblet variety (Fig. 36, No. _B_, 2). These two kinds of glandular cells are rather evenly distributed throughout the epithelium of this section of the oviduct. The unicellular gland cells are more numerous at the mouths of the ducts leading from the tubular glands. The nuclei of the ciliated cells are oval and lie near the middle of the cells or a trifle toward the base from the middle. The protoplasm of the cells is finely granular. Strong cilia in considerable number surmount each cell. In some cases the goblet or mucous cells have pushed apart the ciliated cells, and their prolongations extend farther than the surface of the ciliated cells. The nuclei of the goblet cells are round, and lie nearer the proximal end than those of the ciliated cells.
