Question 6

Ovaries

Answer 6

Ovaries- produce gametes and variety of hormones- produce eggs variety of hormones

Question 7

Oviducts

Answer 7

optimal environment for fertilization and preattachment of embryo- right of uterus, between uterus and overy catch the egg

Question 8

Uterus

Answer 8

• environment for sperm transport, early embryogenesis, site of attachment- sperm have to get to oviduct to fertilie the egg, grow a little bit before find spot to settle

Question 9

Cervix

Answer 9

• barrier into uterus, secretes mucus (bad stuff ou), produces cervical seal- gets bad things out that might cause infections

Question 10

Vagina

Answer 10

copulatory organ, lubricant mucus layer during estrus

Question 11

Serosa ( Outer)

Answer 11

covers the reproductive tract-outer covering (any of organs)

Question 12

Muscularis

Answer 12

2 double layer of smooth muscle. Provides ability to contract- muscle, contacts to push sperm where to go, pushes egg to uterus

Question 13

Submucosa

Answer 13

• contains blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics

Question 14

Mucosa ( Inner)

Answer 14

lines the lumen with different types of mucosal epithelium (reproductive tract, inside is mucosa layer)

Question 15

Where does the reproductive tract develop?

Answer 15

in the retroperitoneal position
Rtero is behind

Question 16

Peritoneum

Answer 16

• connective tissue lining of the abdominal cavity

Question 17

What does the broad ligament house?

Answer 17

the vascular, nerves, and lymphatics

Question 18

What is the primary function of the Ovary?

Answer 18

to produce female gametes (ova)-only goal is
to make eggs

Question 19

What hormones does the Ovary produce?

Answer 19

estrogen, progesterone -estrogen shows signs of
heat, pro keep it pregnent

Question 20

Corpus luteum

Answer 20

produces oxytocin, relaxin, inhibin, and activin

Question 21

First Layer of Ovary

Answer 21

Tunica Albuginea
outer connective tissue surface-outer covering of ovary

Question 22

Ovarian cortex

Answer 22

contains oocytes, contains CL, contains corpus albicans(degenerating CL which produces progesterone-
when animal thinks its pregent)-middle of it the meat of it

Question 23

Ovarian medulla

Answer 23

• Central portion of the ovary and contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic

Question 24

Mare ovaries are different

Answer 24

The medulla and cortex are reversed
Ovulation occurs in an ovulation fossa-
indention right in middle
Can only palpate the follicle (not the CL which is internal)-is or was

Question 25

What does the Uterus Connect

Answer 25

Oviducts to cervix

Question 26

Explain a duplex in the Uterus

Answer 26

Has single vaginal opening on exterior and it bifurcates into 2 vaginas and 2 cervices (opossum)

Question 27

Explain Bicornuate Uterus

Answer 27

2 uterine horns and small uterine body
Mare, cow, bitch, queen, sow
Uterus opens into the vagina through the cervix

Question 28

Explain Simple Uterus

Answer 28

Single uterine body
Primates, humans

Question 29

Function of Uterine Function

Answer 29

Sperm Transport, maternal contribution to the placenta

Question 30

Endometrium?

Answer 30

Composed of mucosa and submucosa
Mucosal epithelium secretes material into lumen of the uterus to enhance embryo development it makes a subestence that keeps baby alive

Question 31

Characteristics of cervix

Answer 31

Thick walled
Provides lubrication and flushing system
Barrier during pregnancy- help not getting anything sick
