A blind sac is present in the dorsal wall, at the junction between the pelvic and penile parts of the urethra (urethral recess) in what species?
- bull/ram
Which species has the longest cervix?
- sow
Closed off by the pelvic diaphragm
- anal triangle
What could be a catheritization obstacle in the cervix of the cow?
- the circular folds (plicae circulares)
The retractor penis muscle is attached to the sigmoid flexure, what type of muscle is it?
- smooth muscle
Where can calculi lodge?
- at the sigmoid flexure and at the urethral process
What species is the suburethral diverticulum large in?
- cow
The non-fused parts of the uterine horn in the cow forms the ?
- uterine velum
The superficial gluteal muscle is small and fuses with the biceps femoris muscle
- gluteobiceps muscle in ruminants
Sacrosciatic ligament is well formed and the birth canal is almost straight
- sows
Prostate gland has a body (corpus) and a relatively large disseminate part (pars disseminata)
- Ox and porcine
How do fetal membranes attach to the caruncles?
- via cotyledons
Rectal part that attaches laterally to the rectum. The penile part runs over the root and surface of the body of the penis. Smooth muscle.
- retractor penis muscle
Male or Female: Shorter and more stout ilium
- male
Consists of the crus/root of the penis that is surrounded by the ischiocavernosus muscle
- “Pizzle eye”
Which species is missing the ampulla of the ductus deferens?
- porcine
The iliac shaft and the sacrotuberal ligament make up the ?
- lateral pelvic walls
Which species does NOT have a glans penis, or an ampulla?
- the boar
- > glans penis is called the terminal part of the penis and has a preputial diverticulum of the internal lamina
The cranial pelvic aperture in bovine is?
- oval and narrow/sma;;
The round ligament of the uterus is well developed in the _____, rudimentary in the ______ and absent in the _______
- dog
- mare
- ruminants and sow
Convex, round structures (caruncles) are arranged in how many rows?
- 4 rows
The uterine horn is what shape?
- spirally shaped
Other name for the glans penis of the bull
- galia glandis (helmet)
The table of the ischium in cows slope?
- sharply and caudodorsally
The caudal wall closing off the pelvic outlet
- the perineum
The glans penis of the bull is slightly twisted in what direction and why?
- anticlockwise to the left
- > because the apical ligament is asymmetrically developed, being thicker on the left side. As a result, at erection, the free end of the penis becomes twisted.
In the bull, it is long and the internal lamina may be excessively developed and prolapse through the preputial orifice. For this reason it is easily lacerated, swells and is retained outside
- the prepuce
The cervical wall merges smoothly with the uterus cranially and vagina caudally, so there are no vaginal fornices in what species?
- sow
The ventrolateral wall is formed by the ventral commissure of the labia
- fossa clitoridis
The caudal circular folds in the cow form the?
- portio vaginalis that projects into the vagina, thereby producing recesses (vaginal fornices)
