Could anyone explain why they swell up like that during ovulation... what's happening physiologically? :confused:

The females mid body swells to allow the ovum (which are 30 millimeters or more each in diameter at that point) to pass through the infundibulum and down the oviduct. (This is also the point where fertilization takes place ... or not) ... The swelling helps to facilitate the movement of the ovum.

I knew you'd come through Adam... thanks! Now I have to practice saying "infundibulum" 10 times fast. :)

BTW, I just found a very good link describing the entire process.

Infundibulum is something he does when he is home, all by himself... :D
