Transport of Ova Through the Fallopian Tube in the Sheep

Synopsis

The action of the fallopian tubes in transporting ova to the uterus is analysed by slow-motion photography of the movements of a black plastic sphere which has been substituted for the ova. Initially transport is blocked at the isthmus but three days after ovulation transport is permitted, under progesterone influence, through to the uterus.
