25
Q

what pulls penis back after ejaculation

A

26
Q

functions of female repro system

A

sex hormones, develops gametes, receives male gametes, fertilization, grow and develop embryo

27

supports ovaries

A

mesovarium

28
Q

supports oviducts

A

mesosalpinx

29
Q

supports uterus

A

mesometrium

30
Q

female gonads that produce gametes and hormones

31
Q

produce one ovum per cycle (horses, cattle, humans)

32
Q

produce multiple ova per cycle (dogs, cats, sows)

A

multiparous

33
Q

formed from cells lining corpus hemorrhagicum and produces progestins to maintain pregnancy

A

corpus luteum

34
Q

funnel like portion of fallopian tube closest to ovaries

A

infundibulum

35
Q

finger-like structures that reach out to the ovary

36
Q

hollow, muscular organ that holds embryo and creates placenta

37
Q

parts of uterus

A

horns, body, cervix

38
Q

layers of the uterus

A

endometrium, myometrium, perimetrium

39
Q

smooth muscle sphincter connected to uterus

40
Q

muscular tube that receives penis, birth canal

41
Q

outer portion of female repro system

A

vulva, labia, clitoris

42
Q

heat period

A

estrous cycle

43
Q

estrous cycles throughout the year (cattle, pigs, mice)

A

polyestrous

44
Q

multiple estrous cycles in seasonally times of the year (horses, sheep, goats)

A

seasonally polyestrous

45
Q

one estrous cycle per year (dogs, wolves, foxes)

A

monoestrous

46
Q

period between cycles

47
Q

provides oxygen and nutrients to a baby en utero

48
Q

tube that provides nutrients to embryo

A

umbilical cord

49
Q

proestrus

A

follicle and endometrium development, thickening of the oviduct, uterus, and vagina, vagina lines itself with keratin to protect during breeding

50
Q

estrus

A

“heat” period, pheromones are released to attract male for breeding

51
Q

metestrus

A

third stage in cycle, sexual inactivity, formation of corpus luteum, progesterone is released and uterine wall becomes thick for implantation

52
Q

diestrus

A

last stage before next cycle, fully functional corpus luteum and increase of progesterone

53
Q

anestrus

A

period of sexual rest
