25
Q

If not horse, where does ovulation happen?

A

Ovulation can take place over any side of ovary

26
Q

Pig ovary - shape is irregular and bumpy because

A

Ovary has so many follicles

27

A

Yes

31
Q

Equine - 3° follicle has to grow towards _________ to ovulate

A

Ovulation fossa

32
Q

What is superstimulation?

A

Causing many follicles to grow to preovulatory size & greatly changing size & shape of ovary to do that

33
Q

The broad ligament attaches

A

The uterus to the body wall

34
Q

The Suspensory ligament comes off the

A

Cranial pole of ovary

35
Q

The suspensory ligament is a strong ligament that attaches to the

A

Last rib, fixing ovary in cranial position to kidney

36
Q

The broad ligament is made up of

A

2 layers of peritoneum coming down from roof of abdomen & sandwiching together as they wrap around descending uterine horn

37
Q

Broad ligament conveys what to uterus

A

Blood vessels & nervous supply to uterus - it contain fat & blood vessels

38
Q

In some species, you can have smooth muscle in the broad ligament, which is known as

A

Perimetrium & this smooth muscle joins up with the longitudinal muscle layer of uterus

39
Q

Which species is perimetrium prominent in?

A

Mare & cow

40
Q

Broad ligament connecting to uterine horn is called

A

Mesometrium

41
Q

The section of the broad ligament that connects to the ovary is called the

A

Mesovarium

42
Q

The section of the broad ligament that connects to the uterine tube is called the

A

Mesosalpinx

43
Q

What is the origin of the broad ligament

A

Roof of abdomen

44
Q

Where do the suspensory and proper ligaments come off the ovary & go?

A

Suspensory- off cranial pole of ovary to last rib
Proper - goes from caudal pole of ovary to uterus

45
Q

What is the round ligament of the uterus?

A

Remnant of gubernaculum

46
Q

Does the round ligament pass through the inguinal canal?

A

Yes, then attaches to lateral wall of vagina

47
Q

Where does the ovarian artery come from?

A

Caudal to suspensory ligament covered in fat - comes down towards ovary

48
Q

What branches off of the ovarian artery?

A

Uterine branch of ovarian artery

49
Q

Caudal blood vessel that provides uterus blood supply

A

Uterine branch of vaginal artery

50
Q

Location of uterine branch of vaginal artery

A

Comes very close to body of uterus, then feeds into lateral wall of uterus in broad ligament

51
Q

Do any vessels anastomosis in the uterus?

A

YES

52
Q

Name the 2 vessels that form the anastomosis in the uterus?

A

Uterine branch of vaginal artery & uterine branch of ovarian artery
