dc.description.abstract | In both non-ovulating and ovulating toads of the species, Bufo melanostictus, the fimbrium stained only weakly for mucopolysaccharides (MPs) whereas the infundibulum stained strongly for neutral MPs and also for glycogen. In the non-ovulating toad, only neutral and sulphated MPs were detected in the goblet cells of the upper magnum, whereas sulphated, neutral and sialomucins were detected in the glands. In the middle magnum, sulphated and sialic acid-containing carboxylated MPs were detected in both the goblet cells and glands. In the lower magnum, neutral, sulphated, and sialic acid- containing MPs were detected in the goblet cells and only sulphated and sialic acid-containing MPs were detected in the glands. In the isthmus and ovisac, only sulphated MPs were present in the goblet cells. During ovulation, there was no change in the distribution of sulphated MPs throughout the oviduct. Sialic acid-containing MPs could not be detected in many of the goblet cells of the upper and lower magnum nor in most of the glands of the lower magnum. | |
