Unit 4 And 5 Flashcards
In animals, if not pregnant,the endometrium is
Reabsorbed by uterus
During estrus, body temp
Increase
Phases of estrus cycle
Pemda
Proestrus
Estrus
Metestrus
Diestrus
Anestrus
Proestrus duration
1 day to 3 weeks
-One or several follicles of the ovary starts to
grow (depending on species)
Endometrial (lining starts to grow under
estrogen influence
What stage of estrus
Pro estrus
Follicles are maturing and estrogen exert its biggest influence
Estrus
Dominat follicle reaches its maximum,
growth, matures, & ovulates
Estrus
Estrus stage wherein estrogen influence subsides and cl starts to form
Metestrus
In metestrus, uterine lining begins to secrete small amounts of
progesterone
During this phase, Cl produces progesterone
Diestrus
If the animal is not pregnant in diestrus, it terminates w/ the regression of
Cl
It is the most consistent period in the cycle
Diestrus
In anestrus, melatonin regulates – release by hypothalamus
Gnrh
Anestus is controllers
Light exposure
Mammals that only cycle once a year and exhibit a long anestrus regardless of pregnancy status
Monoestrus
Mammals that cycle repeatedly in a year until interrupted by pregnancy
Polyestrus
Diestrus animal
Dog
Polyesters animals
Cat, cow, sows
Seasonally polyestrus animals ) short day breeders
Sheep and goat
Long day breeders
Horses
Estrus in cow lasts
6-30 hrs
Conclusive sign that cow is in heat
Standing heat
Metestrus in cow lasts
3-5 days
Cows is capable of what type of bleeding during metestrus
Metestral bleeding where capillaries may break and result in small blood loss
Ovulation in cow
About 10-15 hours after end of estrus
It is the period of cl formation
Metestrus
Diestrus in cow lasts
12 days
In early part of cow diestrus, there is
Increased progesterone production
In diestrus,__ lyses the cl and initiates a return to estrus
PGF2A
No of follicular waves generated
Ewe and Cow:
mare:
Sow:
Doe:
Ewe and Cow: 2-3 waves
mare: 1-2 waves
Sow: 1 wave
Doe: 4 or 5 waves
Breeding season of horses
Summer
Anestrus season of horses
Late fall and winter
Estrus length in mares
5-7 days
Becomes shorter at the peak of cycling season
Ovulation in mare
1-2 days before end of estrus
Ovulation in mares
1-2 days before end of estrus
Ovulation in mares
1-2 days before end of estrus
In diestrus in mare’ it is dominated by what hormone
Progesterone
Pins her ears back
Squeals, kicks, and strikes if the stallion approaches
What estrus phase is mare into?
Diestrus
In mare, FsH peaks during
Diestrus
Lh has a long half-life due to
Sialic acid residues
There is no metestrus or proestrus in what animal?
Mare
Ewe breed in –
Short day lengths
Ewe cycle or come into heat every
17 days
— inhibits the secretion of the Gnrh from the hypothalamus and lh and Fsh from ant. Pit. Gland
Melatonin
It decreases motor activity, induces fatigue and lowers body temperature
Melatonin
Lactational anestrus occur until after
Weaning
Sow is insemenated — after onset of standing heat
12-26 his
Behavioral estrus last – in sows
2-3 days
