30
Q

A

Ovulation

31
Q

Transport of ovum during ovulation to the oviduct

A
  1. Movement of fimbria
  2. Contraction of ovidictal smooth muscles
  3. Ciliary movement oviduct lining epithelium
32
Q

Types of Ovulators/Ovulation

A
  1. Spontaneous Ovulation
  2. Spontaneous Ovulation with mating
  3. Reflex or Induced Ovulation
33
Q

Automatic LH surge, ovulation, form functional CL that exists for definite period.
Ex: ruminants, sow, dog, primates mare

A

Spontaneous Ovulation

34
Q

LH surge, ovulation, form functional CL only occurs when mating happens
Ex: rat, mouse

A

Spontaneous Ovulation with mating

35
Q

Needs mating before ovulation occurs and CL formation absence of mating leads to follicular regression
Ex: rabbit, cat, ferret camel

A

Reflex or Induced Ovulation

36
Q

Retain some neural control of ovulation

A

Spontaneous Ovulators

37
Q

Induced Ovulators, single copulation- only works 50% of the time. Multiple copulations- higher LH

A

Cats
