Broad biological aspects and accepted evolutionary sequences may offer useful guidance towards a comprehensive explanation of the function of mammalian ovaries and oviducts and their vital contribution to the events of fertilization. Cooling of the preovulatory follicles before ovulation may well have its roots in the primitive stages of external fertilization in which aggregates of oocytes are shed into freshwater.
广泛的生物学方面和公认的进化序列可能为全面解释哺乳动物卵巢和输卵管的功能及其对受精事件的重要贡献提供有用的指导。排卵前卵泡的冷却很可能起源于原始的体外受精阶段，在这个阶段，卵母细胞的聚集物被排入淡水中。
