Q

t/f

in all species, a placenta is the same thing as a “fetal membrane” or an “afterbirth”

A

false

placenta has a maternal and a fetal portion so it is not completely expelled after birth

26
Q

why is the embryonic disk always located ventral?

A

physics: part of the young embryo is encased in a bilamina and part is encased in a tri lamina

the area encased in the tri lamina is more stable

the uterine is very toned and its mem is thin at the bottom and thick at the top, so the developing embryo aligns so that its more stable area (trilamina) aligns with the part of the uterus that is less stable

Q

what type of placentation lends to a very bloody birth?

what type is less bloody?

A

hemochorial placenta is very bloody

epitheliuchorial is less bloody - 2 layers of epithelium peel away from each other

55
Q

why are puppies delivered 1 at a time? even during assissted c section this is important

A

b/c if all are removed at once, clotting factors will be consumed leading to a consumption coagulopathy

one at a time allows body time to clot and respond before more hemorrhage occurs

56
Q

in an epitheliochorial placenta, endometrial glands are often juxtapositioned near a specially adapted area in the chorioallantois called what?

what is the function?

A

the areolae - pouches which capture the endometrial glandular secretions

allows the secretions to be absorbed into the fetal circulation

57
Q

what special feature of the syndesmochorial placenta in the cow results in ability to detect preg at day 20/21?

A

binucleated or multinucleated cells form when cells migrate from the chorion and into the endometrium to form a mixture of fetal and maternal cells

they secrete pregnancy associated glycoproteins (PAGs)

58

describe binucleate cell structure:

A
  • bi or multi nucleated

- contain extensive secretory granules

59
Q

73
Q

cow placenta:

intimacy with endometrium classification

A

adeciduate

74
Q

in the bovine, is the amnion attached to the allanto-chorion?

what are the implications / significance of this arrangement?

A

yes - the amnion is partially attached to the allanto-chorion

in order for the calf to be born, the chorio-allantois must rupture, releasing the allantoic fluid, AND the amnion must break b/c it is still attached to the uterus

75
Q

t/f

the calf is never born w/in its amniotic cavity

A

true

the amnoin must rupture for the calf to exit b/c the amnoin is partially attached to the allanto-chorion membrane

76
Q

what is the consistency of the amniotic fluid in the ruminant?

what is its purpose?

A

thick and slick

the purpose is to lubricate the birth canal well for the calf to pass

77
Q

what is the shape of the equine placenta?

A

diffuse

78
Q

what is the origin of the layers of the equine placenta?

A

chorio-allantoic

epitheliochorial

80
Q

what is the vasculature classification of the equine placenta?

A

villous

81
Q

what is the classification of the equine placenta based on the intimacy with the endometrium?

A

adeciduate

82
Q

t/f

the amnion is attached to the allanto-chorion in the equine placenta.

what are the significance of the arrangement?

A

false

in the equine, the amnion is NOT attached to the allanto-chorion

the significance of the arrangement is that the allantois breaks during birth but the amnion does not - the foal is delivered encased in its amnion

83
Q

what is the function of the amnion in the horse?

A

lines the birth canal so that the foal can slide through its own amniotic membrane

84
Q

when does the amnion rupture in the birth of a foal?

A

when the foal is about 3/4 the way through the birth canal

85
Q

t/f

like the ruminant amnion, the equine amnion is a viscous material

A

false

the equine amnion is not viscous - there for it is easy to pull a foal out of the mare with your hands [calves are too slick to pull with your bare hands]

86
Q

t/f

in the equine, the only communication btwn the outer most mem of the fetal envelope and the fetus itself is the umbilical cord

A

true

b/c the amnion is not attached to the allantois

87
Q

in the equine, with the separation of the amniotic and allantoic cavities, what is the function of each separate cavity?

A
  • allantois = waste storage

- amnion = shock absorber against trauma to the fetus

88
Q

in the allantois, where does waste that cannot be passed to maternal circulation go?

what is the clinical significance of this?

A

dead cells, meconium, etc forms concretions that become macroscopically evident and form structures called HIPPOMANES

the size of the hippomane can indicate how long she carried the pregnancy

important for evaluating for fescue toxicosis, b/c the mare will carry the foal over term and the hippomane will be larger than normal

89
Q

what are allantoic pouches?

what is their significance

A

in the equine: pedunculated pouches that hang from the allantoic surface into the allantoic fluid

no signifncance known

90
Q

what are extre ceolemic pouches and what is their significance?

A

the exoceolome is the potential space btwn the allantois and chorion

the pouches do not indicate an abnormality or disruption of preg - commonly found

91
Q

what are the umbilical vessels present in the horse?

how does this differ form most domestic animals

A

2 umbilical veins, which fuse to form 1

2 umbilical arteries

most animals have a duplicated vascular system with 4 vessels total

92
Q

in the equine, what is the only area where there is not vascular attachment btwn the chorion and endometrium?

A

inner opening of the cervix

93
Q

what is the cervical star?

A

the mirror image of the lack of vascular attachment that occurs over the inner opening of the cervix - can be seen on the placenta as a pale avillous scar on chrionic surface, amidst vascular tissue

94
Q

t/f

there can be multiple areas similar to the cervical star throughout the placenta

A

false

not normally - if there are other avillous areas, that indicates that there was damage to that area of the uterus, preventing chorionic attachment

95
Q

when looking at fetal membranes after parturition, what tells you a lot about the health of the endometrium?

A

the appearance of the chorion

96
Q

what is the chorionic gircle?

A

the first efforts of the embryo to form villous attachment with the endometrium

from this point, binucleat cells invade the endometrium and become endometrial cups

97
Q

what is the significance of the fact that fetal tissue completely embeds itself in the maternal tissue?

A

constitutes a spontaneously and successful tissue transplant - maternal tissue and fetal tissue tolerate each other [until a certain point in the preg]

98
Q

what occurs when the maternal tissue rejects the endometrial cups part of the way through parturition?

A
  • mare will reject endometrial cups with a massive inflammatory response around each cup

cups are pushed towards the lumen of the uterus, into the fetal layer

the cups form little pouches in the chorion, which remain as little pockets

99
Q

when the equine embryo is lifted, around day 35, what is its orientation?

A

embryo moves from ventral to dorsal

yolk sac is dorsal and becomes smaller
allantois is ventral

100
Q

what connects the embryo to the top of the fetal membranes?

A

sinus terminalis

101
Q

how long does the yolk sac remain present?

A

until the birth of the foal

102
Q

what is the least differentiated tissue w/in the full term conceptus?

A

remnant of the yolk sac

103
Q

what is the importance of collecting umbilical cord blood from the yolk sac remnant?

A

the primitive cells are pluripotent stem cells which may be used in future therapies

104
Q

where is the ossified yolk sac remnant?

what does the ossified yolk sac remnant contain?

A

it is attached to the sinus terminalis, loc where the yolk sac remnant is

contains all adult tissues - bone, cartilgae, blood vessels - except nervous tissue

132
Q

what cavity is ruptured before a camelid is born?

what is the fluid inside like?

A

amnion breaks

very little amniotic fluid present

133
Q

what are 2 ways the camelid placenta has evolved to fit the cold native environment of camelids?

A
  • little amniotic fluid so the birthing bed is dry for the neonate
  • 4th fetal envelope: the epidermal membrane - a continuation of the GIT - which covers entire fetus to keep its [well developed] fur dry at time of birth
