Q

Corpus Hemorrhagicum

A

Protrusion of tissue with ruptured blood vessels. Happens when antral follicles ovulate. Once formed theca interna and luteal cels form corpus luteum to maintain pregnancy.

17
Q

Oviduct

A

-Infundibulum
-ampulla
-isthmus
-uterotubal junction
The oviduct prevents excess sperm, provides proper environment for fertilization, and transports+facilitates development of early embryo

18
Q

Infundibulum

A

funnel shape
captures newly ovulated oocyte in velvety finger-like projections called fimbriae and transports them through the opening (ostium)

19
Q

Ampulla

A

Transports sperm to site of fertilization. This is the cite of fertilization

20
Q

The repro is tract is like a bunch of tubes. Each tube has these 4 layers:

A

1) serosa
2) muscularis
3) submucoa
4) mucosa

21
Q

Serosa

A

layer of flattened cells that cover the repro tract

22
Q

Muscularis

A

muscularis is double layer of smooth muscle (circular and longitudinal) and is used for contractions to transport sperm and give birth

23
Q

Submucosa

A

Houses blood vessel, nerves, and lymphatics
supporting tissue for mucosa

24
Q

Mucosa

A

lines lumen with mucosal epithelium. Sustains and protects sperm until oocyte arrives

25
Q

Uterotubal Junction

A

Oviduct to Uterus zygote transport

26
Q

3 Types of Uterus

A

Duplex, Bicornuate, and Simplex

27
Q

Duplex

A

Two uterus body and two cervix (marsupials and rabbits)

28
Q

Bicornuate

A

Two Uterine Horns but one cervix (mare+cow have low developed horns) (dog, cat, sheep have highly developed)

29
Q

Simplex

A

One uterine body and one cervix (primate)

30
Q

Cervix

A

Cervical canal surrounded by single or multiple folds/rings
-flushes, lubricates, seals during pregnancy

31
Q

Vagina

A

Cranial, Caudal, Vaginal Vestibule

32
Q

Cranial Vagina

A

columnar epithelium, highly secretive

33
Q

Caudal

A

squamous epithelium
secretory change with endocrine status

34
Q

Vaginal Vestibule

A

Portion Common to Urinary and Genital System

35
Q

Genitalia

A

Vulva (major and minor labia)
Perineum -Region that surrounds anus and vulva
Clitoris Fossa- erectile tissue

36
Q

Broad Ligament

A

Fuses with peritoneum to Support+suspends ovary, oviducts, unterus, etc.
Houses lymphatics, nevers, vasc.
-Mesometrium
-mesoalpinx
-mesovarium

37
Q

peritoneum

A

connective tissue that surrounds and covers the repro tract

38
Q

Mesovarium

A

Supports the Ovary, supplies blood+lymp and helps form hilus

39
Q

Mesoalpinx

A

Surrounds and supports oviduct, also bursa pouch around ovary. Also helps orient infundibulum to help sperm

40
Q

Mesometrium

A

largest most spottable, supports uterine horns
