cranially: IAO
caudally: the inguinal ligament
medailly:prepubic tendon

coccygeus and levator ani
What are the branches of the internal iliac artery?
umbilica, caudal rectal, and internal pudendal
Describe feline saddle thrombus condition
a clot gets stuck in the external iliac artery. Present limb and cold
What is the main draining lymph node in the pelvic region?
medial iliac lymph node
All the lymph from the pelvic cavity drains in what order?
medial iliac lymph node, lumbar trunks, cisterna chyli, thoracic duct, heart
What is the sympathetic innervation in the pelvic cavity?
hypogastric nerve
What is the innervation from the pudendal nerve inside the pelvic cavity?
Outside?
external sphincter of the UB
striated muscle wall of the pelvic urethra
-caudal rectal nerve, perneial nerves, dorsal nerve of the penis and clitoris
How do primordial germ cells intitially proliferate?
mitoses
Describe spermatogenesis
Look at powerpoint
What substances do sustenecular cells produce?
androgen binding protein, estradiol, and testicular fluid
Where are interstitial cells found and what do they produce?
in the seminiferous tubules and produces testosterone in resonse to LH
How is spermatidgeneis different than oogenesis?
each secondary spermatocyte undergoes the secondary meiosis dividsion to produce two spermatids
Difference between secondary oocyte and polar body?
oocyte has most of the cytoplasm the polar body is smaller
For each follicle, what is ovulated?
the secondary oocyte, the first polar body
What is a primordial follicle?
an arrested primary follicle with squamous layer of ovarian cells
How are the testis developed (hormonally) vs ovaries?
testis have sertoli cells which secrete MIF. Paramesonephric ducts are suppressed. They also have leydig cells which secrete testosterone which then make dihydrotestosterone where the external genitalia is stimulated
What are the 3 sources that the indiffernet gonad develops from?
mesnechym of gonadal ridge> medulla
mesothelium lining the coelum -> cortex
primordial germ cells -> oogonia and spermatogonia
Improper migration to extragonadal regions of primordial germ cells can give rise to what?
teratomas
How do the testis develop?
the epithelial cords lose their connection to the epithelium from the invagination of the tunica albuginea. the epitheila cords branch forming the seminiferous tubules. THe primordial germs cells migrate into these tubules. ends of horseshoe interconnecting forming the rete testis plexus. THe rete testis becomes connected to the mesonephric duct by the mesonephric tubule and form the head of the epididymus. Rete testes lie across from the mesonephric tubules. mesonephric tubules cranial and caudal to testees degenerate. remaining tubules loose glomerular end and attach to rete testi forming the efferent ductules. Mesonephric duct will become the epididymus and ductus deferens
How does the ovary develop?
the primitive sex cords of the indifferent gonad breaks up into clusters of cells called the primary medullarya cords which are replaced later by vascular stroma to form the medulla in the ovary.
The celomic epithelium proliferates to form a second generation of ovary cords which divide into isolated clusters. Each cell cluster will form the follicular cells of a pirmary follicle
THe primordial germ cells migrate and become incorporated into the clusters and give rise to oogonia
What happens to the cranial gonadal ligament during development?
male: weak and regressed (androgens effect)
female: suspensory ligament to ovaries in carnivores
How do the testis descend?
Regression of the cranial gonadal ligament (androgens from interstitial cells cause regression. Releases testes from abdominal wall)
Phase 2- transabdominal descent. Gonads are retroperitoneal and retain this position as they descend. Retroperitonal migration to level of deep inguinal ring
Phase 3- Trans inguinal descent. Action of gubernaculum and testosterone. Pulls fascial and periontela layers from abdomen
How does the vagina develop?
the lower tip of the fused mullerian ducts forms and elevenation known as mullerian tubercle. This grows and fuses with a bud from the urogenital sinus known as vaginal plate forming the vagina. The vaginal plate thickens, elongates and extends around the solid end of mullerian tubercle. Later the plate is canalized and the vaginal fornices are formed
What animals are short day breeders?
Which are long day breeders?
ovine, caprine
mare, queen, jill
Describe what occurs during proestrus
follicular growth and rising estrogen levels -dominant follicle
internal reproductive tract becomes soften or toned in prep for sperm transport and fertilization
Estrus?
Follicular dominance with maximum production of estrogen in females -induces LH surge
Estrogen prepares uterus and uterine terbs for sperm transport
pre-ovulatory LH surge-oocyte maturation and ovulation
Metestrus
Corpus luteum is developed from CH
-progesterone levels increasing and preparing uterus for embryo and preganncy maintenance
-embryo partially develops in uterine tube
Anestrus
exhibited mainly by seasonal breeders influenced by photoperiods
Cow cycles?
polyesterous
proesterous->esterous->metsterous-> diesterous

Short day breeders
Ewe has shorter cycle
Sow cycle
polyesterous
What occurs during ovulation with the bitch?
