Exempel på uteri

• The present study has shown that developing larvae within the uteri gradually stretch the egg membrane to form their cover or sheath.

• What are the rights of women whose uteri are to be used for gestating clones?

• The uteri of pseudopregnant females were examined for fetuses on day 19 or 20.

• These two populations were selected because they offered the largest worm variability (different stages of maturity, body size and gravid uteri).

• The occurrence of a high proportion (35.4%) of female worms with no eggs in their uteri is not easily explained.

• Embryos at different stages collected from oviducts or uteri were transferred into a flushed oviduct of non-pregnant mice.

• All adult whales were found pregnant by the presence of a fetus in their uteri.

• The worm uteri were distended with eggs, and uterine egg counts of 10 worms showed a mean of 243 ^ 6 eggs/worm.

• For experiment 2 (see below), primary cell cultures of rabbit fetal fibroblasts were derived from 12-day-old fetuses removed from rabbit uteri by caesarean section.

• All recipients were laparotomised 9-20 days after transfer to examine the number of swellings in the uteri (implantation sites).

• Uteri of female worms contain eggs, developing larvae as well as microfilariae varying in number between 180,000 and 220,000.

• Thereafter, the paired uteri gradually broaden and run almost parallel occupying the greater part of the length of the worm to the anterior region where they gradually narrow.

• The ovaries, which are blind-ended and strongly coiled, are located near the posterior end of the adult worm and lead into the oviducts which widen abruptly into the uteri.

• On day 59, the development of branched uteri containing many fertile immature eggs in a worm was observed and by day 75, three worms showed similar stages of development.

• Ratio of wet weights are averaged over all litters or uteri at each age.
