Lecture 1 Flashcards
a specialty of veterinary medicine concerned with animal reproduction
Theriogenology
what five studies are covered under Theriogenology
Physiology
Pathology
Obstetrics
Gynecology
Andrology
What does andrology mean
study of male health
six common aspects of repro
Hormones (endocrine)
Hormonal interaction
Breeding
Fertilization
Pregnancy
Birth (parturition)
present in early embryo will become either male or female reproductive systems.
two embryologic tubular systems
male embryologic tubular system
Wolffian
female embryologic tubular system
Mullarian
Where do the embryologic tubular systems run
between gonads and urethra
chromosomes that determine the male
XY
chromosomes that determine the female
XX
Three important parts of the male repro system
Epididymis
Vas Deferens
Seminal Vesicle
Four important parts of the female repro system
Uterine Tubes
Uterus
Cervix
Anterior vagina
six parts of the mammalian repro anatomy
Hypothalamus
Pituitary
Pineal gland – sleep patterns
Gonads: ovaries or testes
Tubular genitalia (male or female)
Endocrine glands
form vital chemical signals called hormones that drive many processes in the body, including reproduction.
endocrine glands
In females, gives rise to a carefully orchestrated, repeating cycle that is designed to bring about mating, pregnancy, and birth.
hormonal changes
Sequence of events in female reproductive cycle
estrous cycle
Adjective used when describing events in female reproductive cycle
Estrous
time of first ovulation (female)
puberty
time leading to estrus (female)
proestrus
time of sexual receptivity and mating (female)
estrus
time of pregnancy establishment (female)
diestrus
time when female is not undergoing reproductive events
anestrus
where does all repro start (for both male and female)
the brain
FSH and LH are what kind of proteins
glycoproteins
where are FSH and LH stored
anterior pituitary
FSH and LH can’t be _______ and have to be obtained from natural sources
synthesized
five hormones of the estrous cycle
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Estrogen
Inhibin
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Two hormones of pregnancy
Progesterone
Prostaglandin
what does GnRH stand for
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
origination point of GnRH
hypothalamus
destination of GnRH
anterior pituitary
function of GnRH
causes release of LH and FSH from anterior pituitary at different times of estrous cycle
origination point of FSH
Anterior Pituitary
destination point of FSH
ovary
function of FSH
stimulates follicles to initiate growth of Ovarian Follicle
what does LH stand for
luteinizing hormone
origination point for LH
anterior pituitary gland
destination point for LH
ovary
function of LH
causes mature follicle to ovulate (released into oviduct for possible fertilization)
ovulation forms the _______ _______ and then the _______ ________
Corpus Hemmorhagicum» Corpus Luteum
which female repro hormone is a steroid hormone
estrogen
origination point of estrogen
folilicle
destination point of estrogen
hypothalamus
two functions of estrogen
causes characteristic female behaviors, biology, and sexual receptivity to the male when the female is in estrus
triggers GnRH release from hypothalamus > to release LH from pituitary
which female repro hormone is a protein hormone, controls how many babies will be born (horses vs dogs)
inhibin
origination point of inhibin
granulosa cells of follicle
