Abstract

The spontaneous activity of the oviduct was studied in vivo in mature rhesus monkeys throughout the phases of the menstrual cycle, using an open-end catheter technic. Observations from 94 recordings in 10 monkeys indicate that there are definite qualitative and quantitative patterns of tubal motility during the various phases of the menstrual cycle. Observations from 8 other monkeys fitted with an intrauterine device were at variance with these findings, particularly during the ovulatory phase, indicating that the presence of a foreign body in the uterus may alter the pattern of tubal motility.
