The bovine infundibulum
Keywords: anatomy, bovine, ovary, infundibulumThe complex flower-like appearance of a bovine infundibulum suspended in water. A key to this image appears below it.
The macroscopic complexity of the bovine infundibulum may exceed that the equine infundibulum. The functional significance of this is open to debate. Also remarkable is the sculpted, frilly margin of the mesopsalpinx i.e. the margin of the ovarian bursa. The bright pink appearance of the uterine tube is striking as well. It is important to note that no color adjustments were used in the processing of this image. It was however photographed with LED lighting at 5000K, perhaps explaining why these colors are so vivid and unexpected.
