female repro anatomy

Question 1

func and struc of uterus

Answer 1

struc - endometrium( submucosa and mucosa , secretions provide environment for early embryo development ) ,myometrium( muscle longitudinal and circular - parturition and movement of sperm ) , serosa ( perimetrium )
func -
-secretions provides optimum conditions for developing embryo
- sperm transport
-contribute to placenta
- space for foetus develops
-parturition
-production of prostaglandin f2 alpha

Question 2

whats a duplex uterus ?

Answer 2

has two cervix

Question 3

What is the struc and func of oviduct ?

Answer 3

struc =
serosa
muscularis - two layers circular and longitudinal
submucosa
mucosa - cillia
-three regions - infundibulum , ampulla( more mucosa ) , ishmus ( more muscle )
func =
-where fertilisation takes place
- optimum environment for fertilisation
- help with sperm and egg transport
-secretions initiate sperm capacitation and early embryo development and fertilisation

Question 4

struc and func of cervix

Answer 4

• has folds in horse loosely opposed, spiralling interlocking folds sow , interlocking folds in cow and sheep

keep uterus sterile - acts as barrier to the uterus and secretes mucous

Question 5

Struc and func of vagina and vestibule ?

Answer 5

vagina ( cranial , caudal and vestibule )

copulation
parturition
micturition

Question 6

what are the supporting ligaments of the female repro tract

Answer 6

broad ligament - split into mesosalphinx (support uterine tube and bursa like pouch surrounding ovary ) , mesovarium( b and lymph for ovary ) ,mesometrium (supports uterine horn and body )
round ligament - attaches to the tip of the uterine horn and goes through inguinal canal to attach to vagina to stop the tract inverting
suspensory ligament - attaches ovary to the abdominal wall to stabilise it
proper ligament - attaches ovary to uterine wall

Question 7

vasculature of the female repro tract

Answer 7

internal illiac derrivatives - vaginal artery and the uterine artery
ovarian artery derives from the aorta

Question 8

innervation of female repro tract

Answer 8

ovaries - sympathetic - mesenteric plexus
vagina , uterus , cervix - para and symp - pelvic plexus
