Q

What is MRP in the mare?

A

Presence of conceptus, endometrial PGF2a is reduced- Consceptus goes to different uterine horns 12-14 times a day to prevent PGF2a

Q

What three things compose the extra embryonic membranes?

A

Primitive endoderm, trophoblast and embryo

17
Q

What is an ootid?

A

when female and male pronuclei can be observed in the oocyte

18
Q

What are tight junctions?

A

outer cells that have cell-cell adhesion and allow water to diffuse into the cell

19
Q

What are the gap junctions?

A

Cells in the inner portion which allow for intercellular communication

20
Q

Describe MPR in the cow.

A

Recognized 15-18 days from bIFN-t which blocks oxytocin receptors in the uterus, causing for less areas for sperm to bind to, and PGF2a is reduced
Proteins are made for implantation

21
Q

Describe MPR in a sheep.

A

Recognized 12-14 days from oIFN-t which blocks oxytocin receptors in the uterus, causing for less areas for sperm to bind to, and PGF2a is reduced
Proteins are made for implantation

22
Q

Describe MPR in the mare

A

12-14 days the spherical conceptus is bouncing in the uterus and releases 3 proteins and estrogen causing PGF2a to be reduced

23
Q

Describe the MPR in the sow.

A

11-12 days the embryo makes E2, which produces prolactin receptors where PGF2a is rerouted so it can’t kill the CL
