Q1 REPRO Flashcards
chimerism
bovine freemartin, female twin exposed to masculinizing hormones, infertile, genetically female but masculinized gonads and seminal vesicles and hair around vulva
male calico cats
HAVE to have two X chromosomes, often infertile
psuedohermaphrodites vs true hermaphrodites
pseudo- one type of gonad but accessory sex organs can be opposite
true- both types of gonads
male pseudohermaphrodites
most common intersex, testis with female phenotype, usually have low androgen production
female psuedohermaphrodite
ovaries and make phenotype, in utero exposure to androgens
common causes of mastitis
contagious- staph aureus and strep agalactiae
environmental- e coli and trueperella
both- strep dysgalactiae
e coli mastitis
very friable necrotic tissue from endotoxins
staph aureus mastitis
VERY acute, necrosis in minutes to hours
trueperella mastitis
dry period, chronic suppurative mastitis
nocardia mastitis
granulomatous from infected drugs
causes of mastitis in goats and sheep
mannheimia hemolytica and staph aureus, mycoplasma, VIRUSES: OPP and CAE (hard udder or blue bag)
contagious ecthyma
ovine parapoxvirus causes scabby mouth, lesions to udder, zoonotic (orf)
canine mammary tumor
most common in intact female dogs, mostly benign, lower incidence if spayed earlier
feline mammary tumors
most malignant, majority met to lungs, lymph, other mammary glands
feline fibroadenomatous hyperplasia
young intact females, associated with high levels of progesterone
what hormones do granulosa cells release
estrogen and inhibin
paraovarian cysts
remnants of developmental ducts, usually non-pathogenic
rete ovarii
cysts that compress cortex and cause ovarian atrophy
epithelial inclusion cysts
around ovulation fossa, obstruct ovulation and cause infertility
cystic ovarian follicles
arise because failure of ovulation, inhibits further ovulation
dysgerminoma
benign, undifferentiated stem cell neoplasm
teratoma
benign totipotent germ cell neoplasm, at least two of different germ cell layers
sex cord stromal tumors
usually granulosa, benign in cows and mares, often malignant in queen, usually hormones cause nymphomania and stallion like behavior, red/brown multifocal nodules on cross section
ovarian epithelial tumors
common in bitch, can seed to abdomen, cystic or shaggy appearance
salpingitis
inflammation of uterine tube
hydrosalpinx
fluid filled uterine tube
pyometra pathogenesis in the dog
persistent CL, high progesterone, cystic endometrial hyperplasia, closed cervix leads to hydrometra and then eventual infection (e coli most common)
bovine postpartum pyometra
abnormal parturition, uterine involution slows, lumen fills and bacteria cause infection (e coli, trueperella and fusobacterium)
bovine postcoital pyometra
caused by protozoa tritrichimonas, bulls serve as carriers and can survive being frozen
endometritis in mares
strep zooepidemicus, need endometrial biopsies to assess fertility
bovine uterine prolapse
within 15 hrs postpartum after prolonged dystocia, reduces fertility
leiomyoma
benign uterine neoplasm, takes up space
infectious pustular vulvovaginitis
BHV-1, transient infertility
coital exanthema
EHV-3, secondary bacterial infection
