[Scanning electron microscopic observations of microcorrosion casts for rabbit ovarian vasculature before ovulatory stimulus (author's transl)]. 1981

H Kanzaki, and H Okamura, and Y Okuda, and A Takenaka, and K Morimoto, and T Nishimura

Ovarian vasculature of juvenile and adult rabbits was studied using a method of resin injection-corrosion casts. Arteries and arterioles in the ovarian stroma and capillary networks surrounding the follicles were observed on a three dimensional scale by scanning electron microscopy with the following findings: 1) The strongly coiled arteries are observed in adult rabbit ovaries. The first order arterioles arise from the spiral artery, and the second order arterioles stemming from these first order arterioles enter into each follicle. 2) Vasculature of follicles starts as glove-finger-like ramified capillary networks. As follicles grow, follicular vessels increase remarkably and form multilayered complex vascular networks surrounding the follicles. 3) The observations of circular impressions around the arterioles near the follicle and in the follicular wall suggest the existence of sphincteric control mechanism of blood flow into the follicle. 4) There are several pathways of venous drainage from a wall of large follicle and arterio-venous shunts are observed in the wall of such follicles. These structures may exert an important effect upon the follicular hemodynamics in the process of follicle rupture.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D005260 Female Females
D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
