CYCLIC CHANGES IN UTERUS AND OVARIES. IQ 



were found, besides follicles in an early and medium stage of 

 connective tissue atresia. The uterus shows low cylindrical 

 epithelium and glands with similar epithelium; some glands are 

 dilated. There is a very small number of mitoses in the surface 

 epithelium and in the superficial part of the gland ducts; the 

 connective tissue is fibrillar. 



The uterus is similar in No. 270 (four days after copulation 

 excise left ovary, three days later cut out the uterus, examination 

 seventeen days after copulation). In the ovary there was no 

 mature follicle. The epithelium of surface and glands of the 

 uterine mucosa was low, mitoses only present in the surface 

 epithelium; the connective tissue of the mucosa was fibrillar 

 and with small nuclei, without mitoses. 



Similar were the findings also in No. 93 (three and a half days 

 after copulation extirpate left ovary, one day later make incision 

 in the uterus, examination fourteen and one half days after 

 copulation). In this case there is however at some places some- 

 what higher surface and gland epithelium. In No. 992 (six days, 

 ten hours after copulation one ovary was extirpated; the uterus 

 was not cut; eighteen days ten hours after the previous ovulation, 

 the examination was made). In this case the uterine epithelium 

 was low cuboidal to cylindrical and contained mitoses; the glands 

 were similar without mitoses, the connective tissue underneath 

 the epithelium had some larger vesicular nuclei, and became 

 fibrillar somewhat deeper. 



In No. 843 the corpora lutea had been extirpated six days, 

 sixteen hours after copulation; ovaries and uterus examined 

 twenty and one half days after ovulation ; there were many good 

 medium-sized follicles present, others showed granulose degenera- 

 tion, still other follicles were in various stages of connective 

 tissue atresia. The surface epithelium was cylindrical, of medium 

 size. The gland duct epithelium was similar. There were 

 frequent mitoses present in both ; the connective tissue is fibrillar. 

 At one place the uterus had been thickened. Here the connective 

 tissue was somewhat edematous, the connective tissue nuclei 

 were small; there was a mitosis present in a connective tissue 

 cell at this place. In this case abortion had probably taken 

 place at the thickened place. In No. 105 corpora lutea had been
