“…We have reported previously that the monkey oviduct is very insensitive to catecholamines (17). The rabbit oviduct, on the other hand, shows dose-related contractions to a-adrenergic stimulation, and relaxation to 0-adrenergic agonists (9, 10).…”

“…The monkey oviduct shows very little, or no, response to catecholamines (17), while the rabbit oviduct responds to a-agonists by strong, dose-dependent ' contractions, and to 0-agonists by relaxation (9,10). We have compared the innervation of monkey and rabbit oviducts to see if this difference in responsive ness is reflected in a difference in innervation.…”

The smooth muscle of the monkey oviduct is similar to that described for other species and organs. Cell-to-cell contacts, in the form of simple appositions, were numerous. The adrenergic nerve supply was sparse, and close contacts between nerve and muscle were extremely rare. There was no difference in the density of innervation between the isthmus and ampulla. The rabbit appeared to have a greater density of innervation than the monkey.
