E3 Reproduction Anatomy Flashcards
What are the 3 uterus types?
Duplex, bicornuate, simplex
What 3 animals have a duplex uterus?
opossum, mouse, rabbit
Duplex uteruses have how many cervixes and no ________ and how many vaginas
2 cervixes and no uterine body and 1 or 2 vaginas
What 5 animals have bicornuate uteruses?
cow, ewe, mare, sow, bitch
Characteristics of bicornuate uteruses
1 cervix, uterine body, developed urine horns, 1 vagina
What 3 animals have extremely long uterine horn?
sow, dogs, cats
What does extremely long uterine horn enable
multiple births
What is a common problem in cattle when trying to AI?
Think you are in the cervix but are actually in the fornix
In cattle, you inseminate the right side uterine horn one month and then the
left side uterine horn the next month
A sow has broad ligaments which
hold uterine horn in place
What cervical differences does a mare have compared to a cow?
cervical lumen greatly expands and contracts during the estrous cycle
cervix has only longitudinal finds with no transverse cervical rings
A cow and ewe has what within their cervix
annular rings
Avians do not have a uterus, it is a
shell gland
What are avians anatomical adaptation within their uterus?
light for flight
Vulva
outer covering
Labia
interior of vulva (acts as a seal)
Clitoris
similar to penis in males
Vagina
interior, bladder stems off
Cervix
beyond vagina, made of cartilage
Uterus
consists of uterine body and uterine horns
Where is semen deposited during AI in cattle?
in uterus just beyond cervix
Where is semen deposited in sheeP.
ejaculation in vagina
Boars ejaculate in the
cervix
Oviduct
extends from horns to ovaries
What is the first part of the oviduct?
Isthmus
Pulsating is much more pronounced in
sows
Gametogenic
produce sex cells
A follicle resembles a
pimple
What acts over the ovary to stimulate follicle growth?
FSH
How many follicular waves respond to FSH for ovulation?
2-3
What is the Corpus hemiragicle
bloody body where the follicle ruptured
Corpus retium is known as the __________ and is the ___
“yellow body”
CL
What is a source of progesterone and stops the body from cycling?
Corpus retium
If pregnancy is not established
the CL will not lyse
Corpus albicans are
tiny scars that remain after complete regression of the earlier lutea
What forms after the CL lyses?
Corpus albicans
What are the two classifications of follicles?
Normal (healthy) or atretic (degenerating)
Testes are descent by birth besides in what animals
whales, dolphins, pachyderms, armadillo, birds
The paired testes of male farm mammals are located in a muscular bag called the
scrotum
Continuous breeders have a
scrotum
Seasonal breeders ascend/descend from the
inguinal canal
Scrotum
thermosensor, radiator, protective sac
Spermatic Cord
contains testicular arterty, spermatic vein, nerves, vas deferens, external and internal muscles
External Cremaster & Tunica Dartos Muscle
regulates temperature by moving testes closer to or farther from the body wall
Pampiniform plexus
heat exchange, testosterone exchange, pulse pressure eliminator
Sheath
correct angulation desired
Inguinal ring
opening in body wall allowing testicles to drop
Cryptorchid
can get a female pregnant but sperm production isnt best, testicles in body cavity, can be surgically prepared
Smegma
source of boar odor that attracts sows (secreting pheromones, firing salvia)
Male genital area is how many degrees cooler than body temperature?
4 to 8 degrees cooler than the rest of the body
Cremaster muscle
skeletal muscle, spermatic cord (short term, fear/excitement)
Tunica dartos muscle
smooth in scrotum (long term contraction, function lost with contraction)
Pampiniform plexus
necessary for spermatogenesis not testosterone production
2 ways male reproduction is different than female
dont remain in body cavity and all potential gametes not present at birth
Gametogenic
produce sperm cells (seminiferous tubules)
Endocrine
produces hormones (Testosterone (Leydig cells))
How many days does it take sperm cells to mature?
45-60
