SERIAL OBSERVATIONS OF FOLLICULAR MORPHOLOGY NEAR OVULATION IN MACACA FASCICULARIS

Summary.: The current investigation adapted photographic techniques to the laparoscope to characterize the morphology of follicular development in Macaca fascicularis. A vascular network was found to emerge on the surface of the ovary 30 hr before ovulation and provided the most reliable indication of follicular development. Within 10 hr of ovulation, a single vessel became established on the centre of the follicular wall. Stigmata were observed on either side of this vessel. Postovulatory follicular changes permitted the diagnosis of ovulation by laparoscopy.
