Accumulation of Eosinophils in the Infundibulum of the Bovine Oviduct Just after Ovulation

چکیده
This study was to investigate the localization and distribution of eosinophils (EOS) in the bovine oviduct throughout the estrous cycle. Histological studies revealed more abundant EOS in the infundibula of the oviducts ipsilateral to the preovulatory dominant follicle and the ovulated ovary. The number of EOS was higher in the infundibula of the oviducts ipsilateral to the ovulated ovary than those of the oviducts contralateral to the ovulated ovary. The infundibula of the oviducts ipsilateral to the preovulatory dominant follicle had higher number of EOS than those of the oviducts ipsilateral to the mid-cycle corpus luteum. The number of EOS in the isthmus, but not in the ampulla, was higher in the outer layers (tunica muscularis and tunica serosa) than in the inner layers (tunica mucosa and tunica submucosa) during the estrous cycle. Thus, the EOS number varied with the region of the bovine oviduct, with greater number in the infundibula of the oviduct ipsilateral to the ovulated ovary, suggesting the impact of ovulation.

The annual oviductal cycle of the Cottonmouth, Agkistrodon piscivorus, is described using electron microscopy. This is only the second such study on a snake and the first on a viperid species. Specimens were collected in reproductive and nonreproductive condition throughout the year and five ultrastructurally unique regions were recognized: the anterior infundibulum, posterior infundibulum, gla...

In this study the reproductive organs of adult and apparently healthy female Azarbaijan buffaloes werecollected after slaughter from abattoir. Through observation of the ovaries, the luteal and follicular phases ofeach buffalo were specified. A total number of 36 oviducts at follicular phase and 36 oviducts at luteal phasewere collected and 3 tissue samples were taken from 3 regions of infundib...
متن کاملInfluence of co-culture with oviductal epithelial cells on in vitro maturation of canine oocytes.
The process of oocyte maturation in the canine species is unique among mammals: oocytes are immature at ovulation and the resumption and progression of meiotic maturation occur in the oviduct. This study was performed to investigate (i) the effect of co-culture with infundibulum and ampullar oviductal epithelial cells on the in vitro maturation of canine oocytes and (ii) the culture time necess...
متن کاملSperm aggregations in female Agkistrodon piscivorus (Reptilia:Squamata): a histological and ultrastructural investigation.
Upon copulation in female Agkistrodon piscivorus, sperm migrate up the oviduct to sperm storage tubules (SSTs) in the posterior infundibulum. The epithelium of the SSTs is composed of ciliated and secretory cells and differs ultrastructurally from that of the epithelium lining the lumen of the posterior infundibulum. Sperm pass through an area composed primarily of ciliated cells at the opening...
