Abstract
SUMMARY: At and for about 3 days after oestrus the utero-tubal junction of the ewe has a valve-like action which prevents fluid under pressure in the uterine (Fallopian) tube from entering the uterus. This action appears to be the result of oestrogen-induced oedema and flexure of the wall of the utero-tubal junction.Keywords
