A

Connects to foal, placenta attachment

35
Q

Isthmus

A

Sperm storage

36
Q

Ampulla

A

Site of fertilization

37
Q

Infundibulum

A

Catches egg from ovary and sends to ampulla

38
Q

Estrous cycle

A

21 day cycle in mares, divided into estrus and diestrus

39
Q

Anestrous

A

Mare in not cycling, “rest period” for hormones

40
Q

Estrus

A

Sexual receptivity, about 4-7 days long

41
Q

Diestrus

A

Does not want to be bred, agitated and not receptive to stallion

42
Q

FSH

A

Causes follicles to grow on the ovary, releases from the Anterior Pituitary gland

43
Q

LH

A

Causes follicles to ovulate, released from anterior pituitary gland

44

A

Maintains pregnancy, released by the CL

46
Q

PGF2a

A

Releases from the uterus toward the end of diestrus if mare is not pregnant, causes complete regression of the CL and starts estrous cycle over
