QUESTION

Peg cells are found in?

OPTIONS

(A) Oviduct
(B) Vagina
(C) Uterus
(D) Ovary

ANSWER

(A) Oviduct

EXPLANATION

Peg cells are nonciliated secretory epithelial cells of the oviduct that contribute substances supporting gametes and early embryos. They occur alongside ciliated cells, which assist transport. Vaginal and uterine epithelia have different characteristic cell populations, and ovarian tissue is organized into follicles and supporting stroma. Peg cells are therefore identified with the uterine tube rather than these other organs.
