__________________ ducts lead to MALE development
Mesonephric (wolfian)
_______________ ducts lead to FEMALE development
Paramesonephric (mullerian)
Animals that have gonads of both sexes
Hermaphrodites
Animals with an inconsistency with gonads and tubular genitalia
Pseudohermaphrodites
What can occur where there are male and female town fetuses ?
A sterile co-twin female > freemartin
Exchange of blood between male and female-> male hormones transferred to female-> sterile
Follicular cysts can arise from??
Estrogen -> prolonged estrus or anoestrus
Leutenized cysts can arise from?
Progesterone -> anoestrum
What are the ovarian neoplasms??
- Sex chord tumors- granulosa - theca cell tumors
- Epithelial tumors- adenoma and adenocarcinoma
- Germ cell tumors- dysgerminoma and teratoma
- Nongonadal tumors
What is the most common ovarian tumor in cows and mares?
Granulosa cell tumor
- generally unilateral, large and nonmalignatn
- solid or poly cystic with hemorrhage and necrosis
What is diagnostic of a granulosa cell tumor ?
Call-exner bodies (rosettes of granulosa cells surrounding pink proteinaceous fluid)
Mass containing cells for two or more germ cell lines: ectoderm/mesoderm/endoderm
Teratoma
- can include hair, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney
What are tumors of primordial germ cells of the embryonic gonad, all are considered malignant
Dysgerminoma
Tumor of the epithelial cells of the ovary
Ovarian adenoma
Inflammationof the ovary
Oophoritis
What animal has two cervices?
Rabbit
What animal has proportionally longer horns compared to the cervix
Sow
Uterine tube is distended and filled with clear watery mucus
Hydrosalpinx
Usually secondary to obstruction
Accumulation of pus in the uterine tube
Pyosalpinx
Uterine torsion most commonly occurs in __________ uterus and accounts for 5-10% of dystocia in mares
Enlarged (pregnancy, pyometra, or mucometra)
When the uterus has exeriorized and exposed to the environment
Uterine prolapse
-> dystocia, forced traction, retained placental post parturent hypocalcemia
Rupture of the uterus can occur from??
Obstetrical manipulations
Dystocia
Fluid infusions
Accumulation of thin or viscous fluid in the uterus, secondary to endometrial hyperplasia or congenital obstruction
Hydrometra
Endometrial hyperplasia is often due to _____________________
Prolonged hyperestrogenism or excess progesterone
Estrogen sources leading to endometrial hyperplasia could be??
Cystic ovarian follicles Granulosa cell tumors Estrogenic pastures (clover-sheep) Zearalenone (mycotoxin)
What are the most frequent disorders of the uterus in middle aged and older intact dogs?
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia
Pyometra
-> abnormal response of uterus to prolonged periods of high serum progesterone during luteal phase
Fluid filled distention of endometrial glands is called?
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia
-> if endometrial secretions accumulate -> infection -> pyometra
What causes endometrial hyperplasia in female dogs?
Estrogen -> receptor on endometrium -> synthesisi of progesterone receptors-> progesterone binding -> accumulations of endometrial secretions -> progesterone immunosuppresses -> bacterial growth causing pyometra -> low grade infection causing endometrial hyperplasia
Dog
Depressed and anorexic
PU/PD
Vaginal discharge
Dx?
Pyometra
What extragenital lesions are associated with pyometra in dogs?
Bone marrow depression and anemia
Marked EMH in spleen and liverr
Marked leucocytoisis
Immune complex glomerulonephritis
Contagious equine metritis is a congenital disease in mares caused by ____________
Taylorella equigenitalis (gram neg)
Contagious equine metritis clinically manifests as??
Temporary infertility and mild to moderate inflmmation of endometrium
Stallions transmit but do not develop clinical disease
T/F: CEM is reportable
Yes, in many states
Endometrial biopsy are evaluated on ID and scoring of what 4 microscopic lesions ?
Inflammation
Dilation of lymphatic
Loss of glands
Fibrosis
_____________ from endometrial inflammation and edema results in endometrial glands forming nests
Fibrosis
-> lack of fertility due to a lack of attachment of the concepts or failure of formation of normal microcotyledons and reduced placental area
Presence of endometrial glands and stroma between the muscle bundles of the myometrium
Uterus adenomyosis
Actively growing endometrial tissues that are explained to Ab era the sites within and outside the uterus
Endometriosis (ectopic endometrial glands)
-> humans and primates
A smooth muscle tumor of the uterus is called?
Uterine leiomyoma
What uterine neoplasm is very common in rabbits?
Uterine adenocarcinoma
What is the most common metastatic neoplasm found in the uterus of the cow?
Lympocarcoma
Bovine leukosis virus -positive cows
A malignant smooth muscle tumor is called?
Leiomyosarcoma
In cattle, the corpus luteum is maintained by the blastoderm secreting ___________ to inhibit PGF2 and luteolysis
IFNy
_________________ is secreted from endometrial cups in the mare stimulates corpus luteum and the fetal chorion takes over progesterone production
Chorionic gonadotropin
Layer that contacts the mother, in most species is fused with the allanotis
Chorion
Contains the fetal urine and other fluids arising from the membrane itself
Allanotis
Smooth translucent membrane that surrounds the fetus and hold amniotic fluid, the fetal side can be identified by amniotic plaques
Amnion
Dome shaped areas in the uterus of the ruminat
Caruncles
