Short Version Flashcards
Monosomy X or Turners Syndrome
Usually underdeveloped internal and external genitalia due to the lack of a second X chormosome
Klinefelter’s Syndrome (XXY)
Gonadally and phenotypically male due to prescence of SRY. Extra X chromosome leads to abnormal phenotype
Trisomy X- XXX Syndrome
Usually abnormal phenotype due to the presence of an extra X chromosome. Ovaries are not functional.
Mosaics
Cells all originate rom the same zygote. Usually results from non-disjunction during mitosis of early embryo
Chimeras
- Contain cell lines originating from two different embryonic sources
- Can be experimentally or naturally occuring
Layers of the Testis
- Skin
- Tunica Dartos
- Spermatic Fascia (External and Internal)
- Parietal Layer of Tunica Vaginalis
- Visceral Layer of Tunica Vaginalis
- Tunica Albuginea
- Mediastinum Testis (efferent ductules and rete testis)
Proper ligament of the testis
Connects tail of epididymis to testis
Ligament of the tail of the epididymis
Connects tail of the epididymis to the parietal tunic
Scrotal ligament
Scrotum to body wall
Midpiece
- has all the mitochondria
- has the central axoneme that travels all the down the sperm tail
- has outer longitudinal fibers that span most of sperm tail except end piece
Principle Piece
- Has fibrous sheath that is lost before end piece
- still has axoneme and outer longitudinal fibers
End piece
- just axoneme
- no thick segments
Ruminant Ejaculate
1 jet (Sperm Rich Fraction)
Equids Ejaculate
5-7 jets (approx. 3 jets of sperm-rich fraction, and gell fraction)
Swine Ejaculate
Gel fraction, sperm rich fraction, gel fraction( block cervix)
Canine Ejaculate
Sperm-poor fraction, sperm rich fraction, and prostatic fraction
Vagina Semen Deposition
Bull, ram, man, tom cat, stud dog
Cervix Semen Deposition
boar
Uterus Semen Deposition
Camelids, Stallion(through cervix, urethral process in cervix), stud dog, boar
Species with CL as the sole source of Progesterone Production
Pig, goat, llama, dog, cat
Species with both CL and placental production of Progesterone
Horse, sheep, cow
mare pregnancy recognition
Movement of the conceptus, no conceptus derived signal has been identified. Movement occurs between days 11-16
Luteolysis occurs on day 15-16
Cow/Sheep
Expansion (Cow), INF-T between days 10-21
Cow luteolysis- day 18
Ewe luteolysis- day 14
