Cards

Term
Broad Ligament Function
Definition
connective tissue sheet which supports and suspends the repro tract
Term
Broad Ligament Section
Definition
Mesometrium- supports uterus
Mesosalpinx- supports oviduct
Mesovarium- supports ovary
Term
Broad Ligament Function 2
Definition
houses vascular supply
has lymphatic drainage and nerves
Term
Ovary Function
Definition
produce gametes
produce hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
Term
Follicle Fuction
Definition
filled with follicular fluid that houses the oocytes
secretes estrogen, inhibin, and oxytocin
Term
What happens when follicle ruptures?
Definition
goes from corpus hemorragicum to corpus luteum (looks like pimple/boil)
Term
Corpus luteum function
Definition
produce progesterone
very vascular
Term
What happens to corpus luteum if the oocyte isnt fertilized and implanted?
Definition
it will regress into the corpus albicans (white structure)
Term
What makes the mare ovary special?
Definition
the cortex is on the inside
follicles only ovulate at the ovulation fossa
Term
What is the "life cycle" for a follicle?
Definition
primordial--primary--secondary--tertiary--antral follicle--ruptured follicle--corpus hemorhagicum--corpus luteum--corpus albicans
Term
How do you tell the difference between a primary, secondary, and tertiary follicle
Definition
secondary- have at least 2 layers of cells
tertiary- developing antrum (fluid filled cavity)
Term
What are the layers of an antral follicle?
Definition

Term
Estrogen function
Definition
dictates estrus/follicular phase
measured in picograms (10^-12)
Term
What are the layers of the secondary sex organs (tubes)?
Definition
(inside) lumen--mucosa--submucosa--muscularis--serosa (outside)
Term
Oviduct function
Definition
gamete transport and supports early embryo development
Term
Oviduct Anatomy
Definition
[image]
Term
what are fimbriae?
Definition
finger like projections on the infundibulum to help grab egg
Term
what is hole from the infundibulum to the ampula called?
Definition
ostium
Term
Uterus function
Definition
muscle contractions transport sperm and expel fetus and placenta
provides environment for embryo and fetal growth
Term
Uterus function 2
Definition
produces prosaglandin F2 alpha (gets rid of corpus luteum)
phagocytosis of sperm
Term
What are characteristics of a bicornuate uterus
Definition
2 horns
uterine body
one cervix
Term
what are the layers of the uterus
Definition
(inside) endometrium (glands)--myometrium (muscle)--perimetrium (outside)
Term
Carnucles
Definition
attachment site of the placenta (leftover after they were pregnant)
Term
Cervix function
Definition
transports sperm
barrier
reservoir for sperm
**blocks bacteria invasion during pregnancy
Term
Cervical anatomy
Definition
mucus is secreted near time of breeding
cow has 4-5 rings
mare has longitudinal rings
**fornix- area surrounding external cervical os (opening)
Term
Vagina function
Definition
copulatory organ
glands secrete lubrication and pheromones
birth canal
Term
cell types in vaginal canal
Definition
anterior--columnar epithelium (secretory)
posterior--stratified squamous (protective)
Term
labia function
Definition
closes entrance to vagina
Term
clitoris
Definition
sensory organ
stimulation releases oxytocin causing contractions
