Q

maternal recognition of pregnancy

A

Process by which the pre-attachment conceptus signals its presence to the dam. The must occur before luteolysis or the female will return to estrus.

CL must be preserved to maintain pregnancy

Q

if not pregnant the uterus will secrete ___

A

PGF2 alpha

in cow, ewe and sow the vein will transfer PGF to the uterine artery and cause luteolysis of the non pregnant CL

CL released oxytocin → if there is enough oxytocin the uterus will release PGF

25
Q

___ prevents luteolysis in sows

A

estradiol (estrogen produced by the blastocyst)

E2 will force PGF into the lumen of the uterus instead of into the blood→ will lead to contractions of the uterus that moves the blastocyst around

27
Q

___ helps with maternal recognition in the mare

A

migration all over the uterus

28
Q

small or large amounts of PGF will cause luteolysis in mares and cows

A

cow, ewe and sow → large amounts

mare → small amounts

29
Q

what does progesterone do?

A

Histotrophic secretion

  • Closes cervix
  • Increases uterine tone
  • Suppresses myometrial activity

progesterone made by CL

30
Q

what animals are not luteal dependent

A

mare, ewe and cow

CL stops producing progesterone some time during pregnancy and the placenta will produce progestogens to maintain pregnancy

31
Q

human chorionic gonadotropin

A

HCG → has LH activity→ stimulate ovulation

human and cow

7-9 days days after implantation

  • Luteotropic –LH activity
  • Responsible for maternal recognition of pregnancy

Basis of most early pregnancy tests for women

32
Q

equine chorionic gonadotropin is produced by

A

chorionic girdle → borrow into endometrium and female body will attack and around 120 days will slough off

40-120 days of gestation

During early gestation cell from the chorionic girdle of the embryo burrow into the endometrium of the mare and form endometrial cups. These cups are arranged in a circle. The cups produce equine chorionic gonadotropin which is associated with the formation of secondary corpora lutea. The mare mounts an lymphocytic immune response to the cups and they are destroyed. ECG concentrations are elevated in the pregnant mare from day 40 to 120 days of gestation.
ECG can be administered to ewes to stimulate multiple ovulations.

33
Q

prostaglandins Interact with___ to regulate uterine blood flow

A

steroids and catecholamines

34
Q

PGE produced by the equine conceptus controls___ through the isthmus of the oviduct

A

transport of the equine embryo

35
Q

lactogen

A

produced to tell female to divert energy to the fetus and develop mammary gland

Placental lactogen is a polypeptide hormone produced by the placenta in cows, sheep, does, women, mice and rats. Placental lactogen is also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. Placental lactogen has prolactin and growth hormone-like activity. During pregnancy placental
lactogen influences maternal metabolism to direct nutrients to the fetus, promoting growth of the fetus. Placental lactogen also has lactogenic activity and stimulates mammary gland development. The somatotropic/lactogenic activity of this hormone varies between species.

36
Q

relaxin

A

Produced by the placenta and ovary

  • Women, mares, queens, bitches, sows
  • Softens and relaxes pelvic ligaments near term
  • Aid in expulsion of the fetus
37
Q

placentation in horse

A

Progesterone stimulates synthesis of glycocalyx

  • Endometrium covered by MUC-1 (prevents embryo from attaching)
  • Progesterone receptors down-regulate
  • MUC-1 decreases
  • Allows conceptus to contact endometrium
  • Attachment by interdigitation of trophoblastic and endometrial microvilli
  • Resulting in epitheliochorial placentation
38
Q

ruminants placentation

A

Binucleate cells form

  • Fuse with endometrial epithelium to form multinucleate cells (syncytium)
  • Chorion form papillae that project into uterine glands
  • Villi (cotyledons) form over caruncles to form placentomes

Binucleate cells form from trophoblast cells starting on day 17. The binucleate cells migrate and fuse with the underlying endometrial epithelium to form multinucleate cells or a syncytium. The cells may be involved in the immunologic protection of the conceptus and transfer of placental lactogen (produced by binucleate cells) to the maternal circulation. Early on the chorion form papillae that project into the lumen of the uterine glands and provide an anchor and absorptive surface. More complex microvilli (cotyledons) form over the caruncles to form the placentomes.

39
Q

cotyledon and caruncle =

A

placentomes → ruminants

40
Q

binucleate cells form and fuse with endometrial epithelium to form ___

A

multinucleate cells (syncytium)
