Blood flow to the bovine ovary is?

VGO-0175

QUESTION

Blood flow to the bovine ovary is?

OPTIONS

(A) Maximum during luteal phase
(B) At nadir just before ovulation
(C) Both (A) and (B)
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(C) Both (A) and (B)

EXPLANATION

Total blood flow to the corpus-luteum-bearing bovine ovary is generally greatest during the functional luteal phase and falls with luteal regression toward the periovulatory period. Both statements therefore describe the conventional whole-ovary pattern. Local blood flow within an individual preovulatory follicle can rise even while total ovarian flow is lower, so the distinction between regional and whole-organ perfusion is important.
