Description
Epididymis, LS, 1.5um semi-thin section stained Haematoxylin & Eocin. The lining of the duct consists of pseudostratified epithelial cells which have prominent microvilli (so-called 'stereocillia') on their free surface. Around this is a layer of smooth muscle which propels the spermatozoa, with which the lumen is packed, outwards along the duct. The cells seen among the spermatozoa are probably lymphocytes.
