The motility of 99mTc HM-PAO radiolabelled sperm cells, labelled as described previously (Balogh et al., 1992) was studied. The active migration of spermatozoa was demonstrated in capillary tubes containing bovine oestrous mucus, using an in vitro motility analyzer. Like nonlabelled sperm cells, the labelled spermatozoa covered a 4-5 cm distance in the capillary tubes during a 10-min run. In vitro motility testing of labelled spermatozoa from different animal species (cattle, rabbit, sheep, horse) did not reveal significant differences. The distribution of spermatozoa within the female genital tract was studied in a previously described animal model (rabbit) and in two new models (sheep, chicken). This method enables the determination and visualization of sperm distribution by a noninvasive technique. The results of in vivo motility tests pave the way for the introduction of a method of unprecedented specificity, which serves for studying the penetrability of the oviduct to spermatozoa.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002645 Chickens Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA. Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D005187 Fallopian Tubes A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.

D006736 Horses Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.

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.
