Summary. The continuous collection of fluid flowing from both ends of the Fallopian tube of the ewe was attempted by placing a cannula in the ovarian end of the ampulla and a further cannula passing through the wall of the corresponding uterine horn and opposed to the uterotubal junction. Daily recordings of fluid were made in thirty ewes over a period ranging from 3 to 106 days; observations were also made for oestrous behaviour.There was an increase in total output of tubal fluid starting on the last day of the oestrous cycle and reaching a maximum about Day 2, after which a gradual decline occurred. A greater part of the total fluid secreted flowed through the ampullar end. Flow through the utero-tubal junction into the uterus remained low for most of the cycle, but markedly increased in all cycles 3\m=.\9\m=+-\0\m=.\1 days after the onset of oestrus.The peak flow through the utero-tubal junction would therefore appear to coincide with the time during which ova enter the uterus in the ewe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
