Streszczenie: Jajowód ptaków jest narządem, w którym w ciągu około 24 godzin syntetyzowana jest większość składników jaja. W lejku odkładana jest pierwsza warstwa białka, w magnum dodawana jest większość białka jaja, w cieśni tworzone są błony skorupowe, a w gruczole skorupowym tworzona jest skorupa wapienna. Transport i znoszenie jaja są złożonymi procesami koordynowanymi przez wiele czynników i hormonów.
