A

Discoid

35
Q

the segment of time from fertilization of the ovum to the delivery of the newborn and is typically divided into trimesters

A

Gestation Period

36
Q

Trimester Characteristics:
- Zygote implants
- Placenta develops

A

First Trimester

37
Q

Trimester Characteristics:
- Fetal development period
- All body tissues, organs, and systems develop

A

Second Trimester

38
Q

Trimester Characteristics:
- Fetal growth period
- All parts of fetus grow dramatically

A

3rd Trimester

39
Q

List the 3 stages of labor

A
  1. Uterine contractions
  2. Delivery of newborn
  3. Delivery of the placenta
40
Q

the stage of labor in which the myometrium contracts as the cervix relaxes, the fetus is pressed against the cervix, and the cervix gradually dilates

A

Uterine Contractions

41
Q

the stage of labor in which strong uterine + abdominal contractions rupture the amniotic and allantoic sacs

A

Delivery of Newborn

42
Q

the stage of labor in which the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus and is expelled

A

Delivery of Placenta

43
Q

the contraction of the uterus down to its nonpregnant size

A

Involution of the Uterus

44
Q

specialized skin glands that produce colostrum and milk that are needed by neonates

A

Mammary Gland

45
Q

the large and specialized mammary glands of a cow

A

Udder

46
Q

the mammary glands in the udder of a cow that each have their own milk-secreting systems and ducts leading down to their own teats

A

Quarters

47
Q

What are the 2 types of ligaments in the suspensory system of the udder

A
  1. Median Suspensory Ligament
  2. Lateral Suspensory Ligaments
48
Q

ligament that passes down the center between the left and right halves of the udder and contain many elastic fibers so it can stretch

A

Medial Suspensory Ligament

49
Q

ligament that pass down and around the outsides of each half of the udder and contain strong inelastic collagen fibers

A

Immunoglobulins (Antibodies)

58
Q

Q

cells around the alveoli and small ducts that contract during milk let-down so the milk can move to the larger ducts

A

Myoepithelial Cells

60
Q

the term for the placenta once it has been delivered

Afterbirth

61
Q

the process through which uterine and abdominal contractions cause the membranes of the placenta to rupture and release their fluid

Water Breaking

62
Q

problems during the birthing process

A

Dystocia

63
Q

Give 2 common causes of dystocia

A
  1. Fetus is too large to pass
  2. Abnormal presentation
64
Q

the state in which the fetus is in wrong position to deliver

A

Abnormal Presentation

65
Q

the action of pushing a fetus back far enough to allow it to be repositioned for delivery

A

Repelling the Fetus

66
Q

the surgical removal of a fetus

A

C-Section

67
Q

the procedure of cutting up a dead fetus into small enough segments to be removed through the birth canal to save the life of the dam

A

Embryotomy

68
Q

Which 2 hormones are involved in the breeding stage?
