The development and differentiation of the coelomic epithelium lining the paramesonephric ducts in human fetus, that gives rise to the female genital organs, have been ultrastructurally examined. The epithelium appeared pseudostratified, consisting of basal, microvillous and ciliated cells. In younger fetuses (12th gestational week) ciliogenic elements could be detected mainly on the developing tubal fimbriae, but most of the cells showed microvilli and often single cilia. In the subsequent phases of development, morphodynamics of cell renewal were documented by aspects of apoptosis. Fully ciliated cells were numerous on the fimbriae and at the utero-tubal junction, but not in the uterus; however, these were less abundant than those showing microvillous. In older fetuses (31st gestational week) microapocrine secretion by microvillous cells, in the form of droplets contacting cilia, could be observed. In the same fetuses the ectocervix was covered by a mature squamous epithelium, made up of polygonal flat desquamating cells, showing labyrinthine surface microplicae. Our observations demonstrated that ciliation in the human female genital organs, like that of other systems, is neither simultaneous nor uniform, and ciliated cells are gathered preferentially in strategic sites, to mediate germ cell migration and blastocyst implantation in adult life. These ultrastructural data seem to indicate that the female genital tract epithelium, at least in its general features, is sketched since fetal life, and cell morphodynamics, including microvillous and ciliated cell differentiation, as well as the secretory activity, are the morphological expression of the complex molecular mechanisms, involved in developmental biology and reproductive physiology.
