4th Exam (T or F) Flashcards
The fetal cotyledons and cotyledons are palpable in a COW at 95 days of pregnancy
TRUE
Radiography is beneficial to do during the LAST trimester of pregnancy in bitch to determine the number of fetus & size of pelvic canal
TRUE
Parturition is initiated with secretion of estrogen, oxytocin & PGF2 alpha that wagers cervical dissolution and uterine contraction
FALSE — Initiated by prolactin
Estrogen is needed during parturition because it increases the number of oxytocin and PGF 2 alpha receptors in the myometrium
FALSE — Oxytocin receptors only
Estrogen is needed during parturition because it increases the number of oxytocin in the myometrium
Relaxin,
estrogen &
PGF 2 alpha
causes relaxation of the cervix
—> to facilitate the explulsion of the fetus
TRUE
The normal interval of delivery of kittens/pup is 20 minutes
TRUE
Cervical dilation occurs in pregnant mares in 1-3 hours
TRUE
Primary uterine intertia in MARES occur due to exhaustion of uterine muscles
FALSE — Secondary (in mares)
SECONDARY uterine intertia in MARES occur due —> to exhaustion of uterine muscles
Cases of small pelvic canal in a pregnant CAT is best managed with cesarean section
TRUE
Uterine prolapse commonly occur in sheep due to primary uterine intertia
FALSE —> VAGINAL prolapse
Vaginal prolapse commonly occur in SHEEP due to primary uterine intertia
Estrogen,
progesterone &
prolactin
promote duct development & alveolar cell proliferation of mammary gland in pregnant females
FALSE — no prolactin
Estrogen & Progesterone
—> promote duct development & alveolar cell proliferation of mammary gland in pregnant females
Colostrum have a higher fat, carbohydrates, protein, vitamin A compared with the milk secreted by the mammary gland
FALSE —> lower in LACTOSE (a carb)
Prolactin, parathormone, insulin, cortisol and progesterone are hormones needed for lactogenesis during nursing
FALSE — No progesterone
(2) that inhibits lactogenesis
1. Progesterone
2. Estrogen
Female fetuses of domestic mammals and avian would have a homozygous chromosomes
FALSE — Heterozygous (in avians)
Free-martinism occurs due to the chromosomal aberration MOSAIC
TRUE
FSH secretion occur in PULLETS to stimulate growth and maturation of ovarian follicles starting at 18 weeks of age
TRUE
Egg stays the longest in the uterus due to formation of shell membranes and shell
FALSE — Shell only in uterus
Shell membrane is formed in Isthmus
Cats have litter size range of 3-6
TRUE
Engagement of fetus in the cervical canal initiates Ferguson reflex to facilitate OXYTOCIN secretion and release
TRUE
Domestic rooster, geese have vestigial penis, thus mating very rapid through cloacal kiss
FALSE
except in (2)
1. Geese
2. Ratites (flightless birds)
• Ostrich
• Emu
• Kiwi
• Cassowary
• Rhea
