28
Q

what is the function of the suspensory ligament of the ovary?

A

suspends the ovary from the abdominal wall

29
Q

what is the function of the proper ligament of the ovary?

A

attaches the ovary to the uterine horn

30
Q

which animal has a highly coiled uterine horn? what is this indicative of?

A

pig, multiple births

31
Q

what is the round ligament of the uterus?

A

ligament that attaches the uterine horn to the inguinal canal

32
Q

what is the inguinal canal?

A

passage through the abdominal wall muscles

33
Q

what are the (3) types of utersus?

A
  1. Duplex
  2. simplex
  3. bocornuate
34
Q

What is a duplex uterus? which animal has this?

A

two separate uterine horns open directly into the vaginal area separately. fuse in vaginal area
e.g. rodent

35
Q

what is a simplex uterus? which animal has this?

A

single uterus, no horns.

e.g. humans and primates

36
Q

what is a bicornuate uterus? which animal has this?

A

single cervix and body, paired horns.

37
Q

what is the body of the uterus? which animals have small and large bodies?

A

point of fusion of horns is the uterine body. bigger the body, smaller the horns.
Large body- horse
small- cow

38
Q

what two uterine ligaments are only present in bovine?

A

dorsal and ventral intercornual ligaments, between the cranial junction of uterine horns

39
Q

what three layers make up the uterine wall?

A
  1. mucosal layer (inner)
    - endometrium
  2. muscular
    - myometrium
  3. serosal layer
    - perimetrium
40
Q

what is the cervical canal?

A

the lumen on the cervix

41
Q

what does the internal and external uterine ostium do?

A

internal- connects the uterus and the cervix
external- connects the cervix and the vagina
barrier

42
Q

which animal has a fornix and what is its function?

A

when cervix projects into the vagina, it creates a ring. The ring like space is called the fornix. Seen in cows and horses

43
Q

What are the 3 types of cervical folding in the mucosa and give an example of each

A
  1. smooth longitudinal
    - horses, cats, dogs
  2. circular
    - cows- plicae circulares
  3. interdigitating projections
    - pig - pulvini cervicales
44
Q

what is a caruncle and where is it found?

A

thickening of the uterine mucosa, produces oval lumps. In uterus.

45
Q

what two parts make up the vagina?

A
  1. cranial vagina
    - between the cervix (external uterine ostium) and the urerthal entrance (urthetral orifice)
  2. vestibule
    - between the urethra orifice and the external vulva
46
Q

What do vestibular glands secrete?

A

Located more caudally, produce a mucous secretion> lube

47
Q

What comprises the vulva?

A
opening which is bounded by... 
1. labia
- lips, forms a V shape, dorsal pointy
horse opposite, top is rounded 
2. clitoris 
- sits in clitoral fossa
