The interrelated processes enabling the ovum to be released from the mammalian ovary have been the subject of many investigations, which resulted in the advancement of several hypotheses; none, however, can as yet totally explain the morphophysiologic events leading to and responsible for ovulation.This investigation deals with a comprehensive light and electron microscopic study of the morphologic changes related to ovulation in the rabbit. Moreover, an attempt is made to establish a correlation between the modification of the follicle and perifollicular structures and their most likely causal factors.The morphology of the non-stimulated follicle is illustrated in Figure 1. Following copulation, follicles were removed at 2,4,6,8 and 10 hours, processed for electron microscopy, and comparable electron micrographs taken. As expected, the apex of the preovulatory follicle exhibited the most dramatic changes since it is the site where ovulation takes place.
