Front Back
the sows oviducts (fallopian tubes) are how long?
3-4 feet
cervix
thick wall extension of uterus, passagwayt for sperm, passageway of fetus, species specific (shape)
the cervix excretes mucos to seal off during pregnacy, what it this plug called?
cervical plug
How many annular rings does a cow have?
4-5
Is the mare cervix flacid or hard?
flacid
the sow cervix has
interdigitating pads
Sperm are deposited in the vagina in the
cow and ewe
Sperm are deposited in the uterus in the
sow and mare
the long strands of mucos during estrous serve as
sperm super highway and to store sperm
what type of penis does the stallion have
vascular penis
the boar has a
corkscrew penis, which fits into cervix and produces 300-400ml of semen
cervix functions as a (2)
barrier to sperm: mucos and anatomy of cervix acts as sperm filer in cow and ewe reservior for sperm: sperm enter crypts which serve as a favorable environment, majority of sperm 90% are lost through the vagina
cervix functions as a cont. (2)
blocking bacterial invasion during pregnacy: mucos highly cross linked and cervix constricts Leukocytespresent to kill bacteria, birth canal: cervical plug liquifies and cervix dialates to permit fetal expulsion at parturition
uterus involves (4)
womb, aids in travel of sperm (contractions) secretory organ, has two horns or branches
oviduct serves as
site of fertilization, AIJ (ampullary isthmic junction) makes zygote
how many days does it take for ovum to travel down to uterus?
3-5 days
Ovary
produces female gamete, larges single cell in body
Follicle
blister like structure on ovary that contains ovum and hormone rich fluid
A mature follicle is called
graffian, when it lyse and releases egg
a continuous Corpus Luteum is
false pregnacy, continuous heat or estrous
Broad ligament
suspensory support for repro tract
this structure catches ovum after ovulation
infundibulum, funnel shaped
corpus luteum: CL
"yellow body" forms after ovulation, produces progesterone
Corpus Albicans: CA
"white body", regressed corpus luteum
Functions of the male sex system (2)
produce and maintain sperm supply (daily basis), detect females in estrus using pheremones
spermatic cord contains (3)
contains vans deferens, pampiniform plexus, externam cremaster muscle nerves
vas deferenes
transports sperm
seminiferous tubule
produces sperm
maturation of spermatozoa
corpus (body) epididymis
final maturation and storage, the only sperm capable of fertilization
Cauda Epididymis
stage where drop on tail and head of sperm start to come off
cauda (tail) epididymis
connective tissue that holds testis together
tunica albuginea, tough white covering
caput (head) epididymus
maturation os spermazoa, fluid absorption
Order in which sperm mature
Caput, Corpus, Cauda
study figure on 189
study figure on 189
Sertoli Cells
support spermatogenesis (FSH hormone -sperm)
Leydig Cells
testosterone synthesis (LH hormone- testosterone)
Order of which sperm cells evolve
Spermatogonia, Spermatid, Spermatozoa
What cells produce testosterone?
Leydig cells
What temperature do testis need to be kept at
3-5*C below body temp
Scrotum properties that facilitate thermoregulation (4)
Location of testis outside of body for air circulation, low insulation of scrotum (fat, hair, thin skin), richly endowed sweat glands, tunica dartos muscle which changes thickness
pampiniform plexus
artery surrounded by network of viens cools blood coming from body
how much does the temp decrease before blood entering testes
4*C or 8*F
when both testes have not descended
bilateral cryptorchidism (sterile)
when one testes descendes
unilateral cryptorchidism (fertile)
cryptorchidism is common in
boars and stallions because testis descent occurs late
cauda (2)
only 1/2 sperm priduced make it to this point, fours days of testicular sperm is stored in cauda
volume of sperm in sheep and swine
.8ml goats, 225-400ml swine
sperm concentration in billions for sheep and swine
3billion, 45 billion
the boars testicles are held
on back side of butt area
the s shaped muscle holding penis in
symoid flexture
order of egg development once fertalized
zygote, morula, blastocyte
process of giving birth
parturition
colostrum
first milk within 24 hours, high in protien, vitamin, mineral, and antibody concentrates
what condition has effect on reproductive function
environment
how many ovaries are functional in poultry
one
how many eggs are released everyday
one egg per day
bird penis is called
phallus
milk
87% water, has tryglycerides, lactose, protien, minerals, and vitamins
Alveoli
size of pin head, milk goes in middle, oxytocin makes alveoli squeeze and milk comes out
lipids in milk
3.5-4%
calcium in milk
76% calcium
somatotrophin
milk production, rBST, DMI up 10%, milk production up 10%
flehmen
lip curling
Vomeronasal Organ
draws odor in by curling lips, can detect sexual readiness
dicromids
most mammals cant see red, shows up as other color
percents of using boar odor and not to see if sow is in estrus
50% without odor, 80% with odor
tonic immobility
chicken with head under wing
disease
any state other than complete health
pathology
study of the essential nature of diseases
etiology
cause of the disease or study of causes of disease
resistance
defense system against disease
what could predispose animals to getting a disease faster? (3)
environment (like cows in really muddy conditions), poor nutrition, insects like arthropods
clinical or subclinical infection
disease that is infectious in nature
acute disease
have a sudden onset of clinical signs and a short duration of illness
chronic disease
symptoms that develope slowly over a period of weeks or months
diagnostician
a person with expertise in diagnosing a disease
herd or flock management program includes (4)
management, nutrition, genetics, prevention
