Recalling the evolutionary sequence of development first of gonad and subsequently of
oviducts, ovarian endocrine regulation of all known components of oviduct physiology is …

The oviduct or Fallopian tube is the anatomical region where every new life begins in
mammalian species. After a long journey, the spermatozoa meet the oocyte in the specific …

The oviduct and endometrium in primates have common embryologic origins. They are both
highly sensitive to changes in circulating ovarian-derived steroid hormones, although the …

The oviduct plays a vital role in ensuring successful fertilization and normal early embryonic
development. The male inseminates many thousands or even millions of sperm, but this …

Sperm transport and motility were studied through the transparent walls of the mouse
oviduct by direct microscopic observation and videomicrography. Observations were made …

The oviduct is a complex and organized thin tubular structure connecting the ovary with the
uterus. It is the site of final sperm capacitation, oocyte fertilization and, in most species, the …

In large mammals, millions of sperm are necessary to fertilize only a few oocytes (reviewed
in [1, 2]). Artificial insemination has been used to increase reproductive efficiency, but still …

Progression of ram spermatozoa within the sheep oviduct has been studied in relation to the
time of ovulation. Ewes were mated at the onset of estrus and, at increasing intervals …

To avoid inappropriate conclusions being drawn from the extensive use of in vitro
preparations of sperm–oviduct epithelial binding, it is recalled that events in the genital tract …

As soon as the contents of this book are examined it becomes abundantly clear that the title
really means what it says. All aspects of the mammalian oviduct are not only considered …
