allows an excellent understanding of the internal lesions and should be performed before planning any elective surgery.
utz
situated at the internal end of the streak canal serving as barrier for pathogens
rosette of Furstenberg
Milk outflow impairment originating from the rosette of Fu ̈ rstenberg or the streak canal is best treated using minimally invasive surgery ___
theloscopy
known as the large lactiferous sinus
gland cistern
The most distal barrier to the teat is the
streak canal
Blood is supplied to the udder primarily by what BV
ext pundendal artery
how many layers is the teat wall?
5
the teat mucosa ends at the
rosette of Fu ̈ rstenberg.
is an invagination of the teat skin and is composed of a stratified squamous epithelium in which the stratum corneum produces keratin.
streak canal (ductus papillaris mammae)
netlike integrated elastic system containing smooth muscular fibers at the level of the streak canal
sphincter
dx tool that will allow the clinician to determine whether a portion of the teat and udder is inflamed, fibrotic, and/or painful.
manual palpation
it is more beneficial to first perform an___ examination rather than to blindly try to force a cannula into the streak canal to avoid iatrogenic damage to the teat
ultrasound
is the first complementary technique that should be performed to further evaluate teat disorders

From the skin to the teat cistern, echogenicity will appear as follows:
