dark, big spot that looks fluid-filled

protruding out/ white/yellow - tissue filled- can feel
What animal does this tract belong to?

description of sow tract
ovaries like a cluster of grapes and highly advanced uterine horns
description of sow tract
ovaries like a cluster of grapes and highly advanced uterine horns
cervical structure of a sow
interdigitating pads
cervical structure of a mare
longitudinal folds
what does a dominant follicle look like on a sow tract
orbeez
BOAR accessory sex glands
seminal vesicle, prostate (corpus +disseminate), and bulbourethral gland
Does a BOAR have an ampulla
NO
Bull accessory sex glands
Seminal vesicle, prostate (corpus +disseminate), and bulbourethral gland (hidden in ischiocavernosus)
Does a boar have a vertical or horizontal repro tract
vertical
Does a bull have a vertical or horizontal repro tract
horizontal
does a BULL have an ampulla
yes
DOG accessory sex glands
prostate gland only- very prominent
does a DOG have an ampulla
NO
does a dog have a horizontal or vertical repro tract
horizontal
RAM accessory sex glands
seminal vesicle, DISSEMINATE prostate, and bulbourethral gland
does a RAM have an ampulla
YES
What does a ram repro tract have that is unique?
urethral process
Is a RAMs repro tract vertical or horizontal
vertical
Uterus
[under estrogen control]
strong rhythmic contractions to propel sperm to site of fertilization
Caruncles
-bumps on the internal surf of the uterus
-placenta attachment
-[prog control]
-implantation
-maintain pregnancy
Oviduct
Site of fertilization
Ovary
-follicle development + CL that produce prog?
-estrogen +egg
-follicle development + CL that produce prog?
-estrogen +egg
What length are cow uterine horns considered
moderate length
What is the point of bifurcation on a cow female repro tract
line/ to start of uterine horns
What shape is a cow ovary
kidney or almond shape
What have different shapes in the female COW and EWE tracts
caruncles
What type of uterine horns does a SOW have
highly developed
description of SOW ovaries
cluster of grapes
length of SOW cervix
long
Description of MARE uterine horns
short and poorly developed
Length of MARE uterine body
large
Why is a large uterine body in a MARE important
Because embryo stays sterile for longer and has to migrate to let her know she is pregnant
MARE ovary
inside out; follicle and developing CL on inside
BITCH uterine horns
long and well defined
Vagina description of BITCHES
long interior vagina and short exterior
Cervical description of BITCH
short has essential tubular paths
QUEEN uterine horns
long and well defined
what are placental scars in QUEENS
left after pregnancy
Primordial follicle
-microscopic
-one layer of squamous (flattened cells)
Primary follicle
-one layer of cuboidal cells
secondary follicle
-2 or more layers of cuboidal cells
-Zone of pelluca
Zone of pelluca
mammalian egg shell/ protects oocyte
Antral follicle
presence of antrum and fluid filled
What does a larger antral follicle mean
more estrogen
What causes standing estres
antrum grows larger and larger as follicle grows larger and larger= more follicle fluid containing estrogen. Eventually hits estrogen threshold and feedback center of the brain.
How many dominant follicles will a COW have
single
how many dominant follicles will a SOW have
multiple
What are the three major cell types in an antral follicle
theca interna, theca externa, and granulosa.
Corpus luteum (CL)
-yellow body
-produces progesterone to maintain pregnancy
Corpus albicans (CA)
-remaining scar tissue of C.L
-if female does not get signal that an embryo is present and she should maintain pregnancy- uterus produces prostaglandin which destroys CL and becomes a CA
What are the three sections of the oviduct
infundibulum, ampulla, and isthmus
whats the funnel-like portion of the oviduct
infundibulum
What type of cells are in the Infundibulum
ciliated epithelium
what does the ciliated epithelium in the infundibulum do via the what
moves ovary via the mesosalpinx of broad ligament
Ampulla of ovidcut
-tube structure
-site of fertilization `
Isthmus of oviduct
-the remainder of the tube
-the remainder of the tube
Differences between ampulla and isthmus
-ampulla has a wider diameter
-ampulla has a lot more mucosal folds
-ampulla has more ciliated columnar cells
-ampulla has a thinner muscularis layer
Different types of uterus
-duplex
-bicornuate
-simplex
Duplex uterus
has two cervix
what type of uterus do rabbits and marsupials have
duplex
bicornuate uterus
poor to moderate uterine horns and highly developed uterine horns
examples of bicornuate uterus
mare, cow, bitch, queen, and sow
simplex uterus
all uterine body and no uterine horns`
examples of simplex uterus
humans, primates
what are the layers of the uterus
-perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium
Perimetrium
outer layer; serosa
myometrium
muscularis layer
-inner circular outer longitudinal
-peristaltic contractions
Endometrium
-combination of mucosa ad submucosa layers
-points of placental attachment
-glands provide secretions (different under estrogen and progesterone control) for embryo development
What does a cervix have
cervical rings with folds and crypts
cervical crypts
important because they provide areas for the sperm to be stored and can save energy
