Morphologically the oviduct of the frog, Rana pipiens, consists of a lining epithelium and tubular jelly‐secreting glands. The oviduct can be divided into six regions (designated R1 anteriorly—R6 posteriorly) based on the differential staining of the jelly glands. The regions measured 1, 5, 6, 3, 20 and 3 cm, respectively. These regions correspond to 6 histochemically distinct layers of jelly (designated J1 nearest the egg through J6 farthest from the egg) which are deposited around the egg during the egg's sojourn in the oviduct. A correlation between lengths of each oviducal region and thickness of individual jelly layers was observed. That is, J5 is the thickest, followed by J3, 2, 6, 4 and J1 which is thinnest.
