P Vishwakarma - Fertility and sterility, 1962 - Elsevier
THE FEMALE GENITAL TRACT constantly produces secretions. The uterine and oviduct
mucosa possess secretory glands. In mammals, both the spermatozoa and ova travel a
certain distance in the oviduct and uterine cavity before fertilization, and fertilization and
capacitation take place most frequently in the oviduct. 1 Since the sperm, the ovum, and the
fertilized egg all spend some time floating freely in the tubal and uterine lumen, it is almost
imperative to know the biochemical constitution of the milieu. In 1891 Wokressensky …
