The bovine myometrium exerts different contractility patterns in dependency of the reproductive state. However, little is known about the contractile behaviour of the uterus in the cow regarding topography. Differences in the in vitro contractile activity of two regions of the bovine uterus were assessed using an organ bath model. Myometrial specimens from the larger horn: near corpus (nc) and near tip (nt) from healthy cows in oestrus (n=11) or dioestrus (n=6) were collected after slaughter. Two strips were prepared from each region corresponding to the circular and the longitudinal muscle layers, respectively. Spontaneous contractility of these strips was recorded in an organ bath. For analysis, the 2.5 h recordings were divided into five...
