1
Q

Testes

A

gametes and hormones (testosterone)

1
Q

Infundibulum

A

Holds the fimbriae and is able to help “catch” the ovulated egg

2
Q

Bicornuate uterus

A

Poor to moderately developed uterine horns. Seen in mares and cows or Highly developed uterine horns. Seen in dogs, cats, sows

2
Q

Board ligament

A

Supports uterine track. Made up of: mesometrium, mesosalpinx, mesovarium.

3
Q

Penis

A

copulatory organ and semen deposition

4
Q

Epididymides

A

sperm maturation and transport

4
Q

Os

A

An opening. Examples: os penis, os external cervix

5
Q

Pampiniform plexus

A

network of many small veins found in the spermatic cord

7
Q

Uterus

A

environment for sperm transport, embryogenesis and attachment of the conceptus

7
Q

Vas deferens

A

Functions to transport sperm. Attached at tail of epididymus

8
Q

Sigmoid flexure

A

An S shaped curve in the penises of rams and bulls.

9
Q

Accessory sex glands

A

production of seminal plasma

10
Q

Pelvic urethra

A

semen transport

12
Q

Simplex uterus

A

No uterine horns. Seen in primates

13
Q

Polytocous

A

Litter bearing animals

14
Q

Monotocous

A

Animals bearing only one offspring at a time. Twins and triplets a rarity

15
Q

Oviducts

A

environment for fertilization and development of the embryo

16
Q

Non-equine vs equine ovary makeup

A

Non-equine: cortex on outside, medulla on inside Equine: cortex on inside, medulla on outside. with ovulation fossa

17
Q

Prostate

A

All species we study in reproduction have prostates.

18
Q

Spermatic cord

A

Testicular artery, vein, and nerve. Ductus deferens. Cremaster muscle. Lympathic tissue. Pampiniform plexus.

19
Q

Layers of testis (superficial to deep)

A

visceral layer of tunica vaginalis tunica albuginea (capsule of testis) seminiferous tubules mediastinum testis (aka: hilum of testis)- efferent ductules and rete testis

20
Q

Ampulla vs. Isthmus

A

Parts of uterine tube. Ampulla has a much wider diameter then the isthmus portion

22
Q

Ovaries

A

gametes and hormones

24
Q

Cervix

A

mucus secretion (estrus); cervical seal ( during pregnancy)

25
Q

Vagina

A

copulatory organ

26
Q

Follicle to Corpus Albicans

A

primordial follicle, primary follicle, secondary follicle, antral follicle, corpus luteum, corpus albicans

27
Q

Ovarian bursa

A

a pouch formed by the mesosalpinx and the mesovarium that encloses the infundibulum of the uterine tube and the ovary. It is shallow in the mare and does not enclose the ovary. It is capacious in sows and deep with a fat-filled wall in the bitch.

28
Q

External genitalia

A

Vulva between dorsal and ventral commissure. Cuntaneous bridge is the space between the vulva and anus.

29
Q

Fimbriae

A

Finger-like projections from the infundibulum that “catch” the egg and direct it toward ovarian bursa
