The author has observed the epithelium and basement membrane of uterus, oviduct and fimbriae in mice under the TEM by oral administration of AgNo3 tracer. The results showed that there was obvious deposit of argentum granules outside the basement membrane of mucosal epithelium of the uterus, oviduct and fimbriae as well as outside the basement membrane of uterine glands. And there was dilatation fully filled with high electron-dense argentum granules at the intercellular space just beneath the tight junction between the mucosal epithelial cells of uterus, oviduet, fimbriae. All these finding suggest that the uterus, oviduct and fimbriae serve as barriers to the heavy metal argentum ions.
