Abstract
Muratori & Contro (1951) and Muratori (1953), using microcinematography and a Knisely Quartz rod apparatus for transillumination, recorded spontaneous peristaltic contractions and segmentation movements in vivo in the corpus epididymidis of the rat. Similar results were reported for the body and head of the epididymis in the rat and hamster by Risley & Turbyfill (1957). In roller tube cultures, Battaglia (1958) recorded spontaneous movements in the caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis of the rat. In the rabbit in vivo using an abdominal chamber technique, Cross (1955) observed peristaltic and pendular movements in the tubules of the caput and corpus epididymidis, and segmentation movements of the smaller tubules of the cauda. Oxytocin had no clear effect on epididymal motility. Bielanski & Ewi (1964) recorded spontaneous contractions in the rabbit epididymis in vitro. Oxytocin
