Q

Uterus resembles a capital?

A

Y

22
Q

• Most elongate portion of the uterus
• Site for gestation
• Extend from a point just caudal to the last rib to a point just cranial to the pelvic brim

A

Uterine horns

23
Q

• Short in litter bearing species
• Main function is to direct fetuses to the cervix for delivery
• Positioned mainly in the caudal abdominal region; a small part may extend into the cranial pelvic region

A

Uterine body

24
Q

• Obliquely positioned, thickened partition at the junction of the uterus and vagina that act as a muscular sphincter
• Holds the uterus closed at all times except during estrus and parturition to preserve the sterile condition of the uterus
• Located within the cranial pelvic region

A

Uterine cervix

25
Q

positioned obliquely within the muscular mass of the cervix

A

Cervical canal

26
Q

opening between the cervical canal and the vagina

A

External uterine orifice

27
Q

opening between the cervical canal and the uterine body

A

Internal uterine orifice

28
Q

blind pocket at the cranial end of the vagina formed by the oblique positioning of the cervix at the uterovaginal junction

A

Vaginal fornix

29
Q

branch of vaginal artery; supplies the uterine cervix, body and horns

A

Uterine artery

30
Q

contributes to the arterial supply of the cranial regions of the uterine horn

A

Ovarian artery

31
Q

specialized double fold of peritoneum; links and supports ovaries and uterus and transmits vessels and nerves ( ligament )

A

Broad ligament

32
Q

Contains smooth muscle, capable of storing considerable amounts of fat

A

Composition

33
Q

extends from the dorsolateral body wall to the ovaries, uterine horns and uterine body

A

Position

34
Q

This region supports the ovary

A

Mesovarium

35
Q

This region supports the uterine tube

A

Mesosalpinx

36
Q

• The largest region; supports the uterine horn and body

A

Mesometrium

37
Q

This ligament passes through the inguinal canal to end in the vaginal process

A

Round ligament of uterus

38
Q

• A muscular, distensible portion of the tubular female reproductive tract
• Extends from the caudal end of the cervix to the cranial end of the vestibule
• Extends beyond the pelvic cavity both cranially and caudally

A

Vagina

39
Q

on the mucosal surface of the vagina,contributes to the distensibility of the vaginal wall

A

Longitudinal folds

40
Q

a branch of internal pudendal arteries

A

Vaginal arteries

41
Q

• Final common passageway from both the uterus and the urinary bladder to the exterior of the body

A

Vestibule

42
Q

a ridge along the vestibular floor; marks the point where the vagina and urethra enter a final common passageway

A

Urethral tubercle

43
Q

– Located in bilateral lines on each side of the ventral midline

A

Mammary Gland

44
Q

Breeds that contains four to six glands

A

Larger breeds

45
Q

Breeds that contains four glands on each side

A

Smaller breeds

46
Q

– Are modified sweat glands
– Each gland is composed of a separate collection of epithelial glandular tissue, the associated papilla (teat), connective tissue and the skin covering
– The glandular tissue proliferates extensively during pregnancy and lactation; after lactation the mammary,tissue involutes remarkably so that relatively little is left

A

Mammary Gland

47
Q

– Within each mammary gland, subdivisions of glandular tissue are separate both anatomically and functionally
– Duct systems within each subdivisions coalesce into progressively larger passageways leading to the teat
– The smallest passages deep within the gland lead to the gland sinus
– Because multiple ducts remain separate from each other, multiple teat orifices are present at the end of each teat
– Results in a sieve-like pattern of pin-hole sized openings visible to the naked eye.
