Q

4 Arteries of the female reproductive tract

A

Uterine branch of the ovarian artery, Ovarian artery from the aorta, Uterine artery from int. illiac, Vaginal artery

18
Q

Benefit of the blood supply to the ovary

A

The artery is in close contact with the vein, allowing the transfer of PG/PGF2a

19
Q

What is the cause of acute death following parturition in the mare?

A

Rupture of the uterine artery

20
Q

Lymphatic drainage

A

Lymph drains into the aortic and sacral-iliac lymph nodes

21
Q

What type of innervation is in the female reproductive tract

A

Motor and autonomic. (Parasympathetic and sympathetic)

22
Q

Innervation to the ovary

A

Parasympathetic from Vegas and Sympathetic from inter/caudal mesenteric plexus

23
Q

What supplies the vulva

A

Motor nerves

24
Q

Result of a disruption of the nerve supply in the female reproductive tract?

A

Little apparent effect on reproduction

25
Q

Ovary Function

A

Produce the female gamete. Hormone production

26
Q

How does the ovary produce the female gamete: oocyte

A

Oogenesis and folliculogenesis

27
Q

Folliculogenesis

A

Development of the follicle/hormonal support

28
Q

OOgenesis

A

Development of the oocyte

29
Q

Location of mare ovulation

A

Ovulation Fossa. Reversed Cortex and Medulla

30
Q

Empty follicle after ovulation

A

Corpus albicans

31
Q

Functions of the oviduct

A

Gamete transport, site of fertilization, secretion of molecules that support fertilization and early embryo development

32
Q

A

Duplex

33
Q

34
Q

Cow, ewe, doe uterus classification

A

35
Q

Mare uterus classification

A

Bicornate with larger uterine body, small uterine horns

36
Q

Function of cervix

A

Transport, block, reservoir for sperm. Blocking bacteria. Birth canal

37
Q

Cervical Plug

A

Thick mucus secretion to protect uterus from infection during pregnancy

38
Q

Cow and ewe cervical structure

A

Annular rings

39
Q

Mare cervical structure

A

Longitudinal folds

40
Q

Sow cervical structure

A

Cork-screw like, interdigitating prominences. No fornix

41
Q

What part of the oviduct is the site of fertilization

A

Ampullary-isthmus junction

42
Q

Parts of the Oviduct

A

Infundibulum, Ampulla, and Isthmus
