Andrology
the study of reproductive physiology specific to males
Gynecology
the study of reproductive physiology and medicine specific to females
Theriogenology
branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on the reproduction systems in animals
Obstetrics
branch of reproductive physiology, veterinary medicine, and/or human medicine that specializes in the female before, during, and after birth
Improvement in reproductive rate by just 3% of an increase would result in ___ more beef calves, ___ more pigs, and ___ more gallons of milk per year.
1 million more beef calves, 3.2 million more pigs, and 3.7 million more gallons of milk.
Aristotle's contribution
Proposed that the fetus originates from menstrual blood
Fallopius
Discovered and described the oviduct
Coiter
Discovered and described the corpus luteum
de Graaf
Discovered and described the antral follicle
van Leeuwenhoek
Discovered and described spermatozoa in semen
Spallanzani
Hypothesized that spermatozoa were the fertilizing agents and successfully artificially inseminated a dog
Dumas
Proved that spermatozoa were the fertilizing agents
Type of epithelium in the serosa
simple squamous (for blood to easily enter and exit)
Submucosa
Layer of varying thickness that supports the reproductive tract. It houses blood, lymph, and nerves.
Mucosa
secretory epithelium
Type of epithelium in the oviduct
ciliated and non-ciliated simple columnar
Poster vagina epithelium
Stratified Squamous
The broad ligament originates from _____ in the female
peritoneum. It develops in the retroperitoneal position
utero-ovarian ligament
attaches the ovary to the uterus
The corpus luteum produces what hormones?
oxytocin, relaxin, inhibin, and activing. It also produces progesterone.
What type of epithelium is in the tunica albuginea/germinal epithelium?
cuboidal
Corpus albicans/corpora albicantia
the degenerating corpus luteum. scar-like and white.
uterotubal junction
where the ovary and isthmus meet
fimbriae
finger-like velvety projections that sweep over the ovaries and collect ovulated follicles
The three kinds of uteruses
Duplex, bicornuate, simplex
Perimetrium corresponds to what in the uterus?
serosa
Myometrium corresponds to what tissue layer in the uterus?
Myometrium
The endometrium corresponds to what tissue layer in the uterus?
mucosa and submucosa
Uterine glands of the submucosa
develop from the endometrial mucosa, penetrate into the submucosa and become coiled. They secrete material into the lumen of the uterus
Describe the cow cervix.
annular rings, fornix, crypts and folds. similar to ewe and sow.
Prostaglandin F2a
causes regression of corpus luteum
This species has longitudinal folds that make fertilization comparitively easy
mare
This species has "scars" from zonary placentation
queen
In these species, the cervix protrudes caudally into the cranial vagina, and does not have elaborate rings or folds, leaving the cervix smooth
female dog (censored), queen (no protrustion)
The vestibule develops from what?
the ventral part of the cloaca
Gartner's ducts
remnants of the Wolffian duct
suburethral diverticulum
in the sow and cow. small blind pouch immediately ventral to urethral opening
urethral tubercle
in the female dog. contains a bulb-like structure that protrudes caudally into the vestibule. directly avove the urethral opening.
perineium
covers the pelvic outlet, tears sometimes in birth
a type of bull sterilized by shortening the testis closer to the body
short-scrotumed bull
spermatogenesis occurs primarily in what part of the seminiferous tubules?
tubulus contortus, the spirally part (the other is the rectus)
The seminiferous epithelium consists of two major regions known as ____ and ____
basal compartment and adluminal compartment
Sertoli cells can produce what hormones?
androgent binding protein (testosterone transport protein), sulfated glyoproteins 1 and 2 (fertility acquisition, movement,) transferrin (Fe transport, spearmatogenesis), inhibin (suppresses FSH)
The type of junctions between Sertoli cells
tight junctions
function of peritubular cells around the seminiferous tubules
blood-testis barrier protecting germ cells from immuglobins and immune system
Hormones and neurotransmitters that can have an effect on spermatogenesis or maturity of sperm
oxytocin, acetylcholine, prostaglandins, angiotensin II
When restrained from mounting or falsely mounting, this hormone can build up sperm reserves (extragonadal reserves)
oxytocin
In these species, a plug forms in the female to prevent sperm leakage
boar and stallion
ampulla (male)
enlargements of the ductus deferens that open directly into the pelvic urethra. Enlargement is the result of a dramatic increase in mucosa within which has many pockets. Not found in boar.
This species has a heart-shaped corpus prostate
boar
This species has an H-shaped corpus prostate
stallion
This species does not have a corpus prostate. Its prostate is entirely disseminate
ram
This species only has a corpus prostate (two lateral lobes)
stallion
This animal only has a prostate
dog
This guy has a four-gland prostate
tom
the process of castrating an animal
orchidectomy
the glans penis of the alpaca penis has
a cartilagenous process
Which species have a fibroelastic penis (and sigmoid flexure with retractor penis muscles)
bulls, boars, and rams
retractor penis muscles
a pair of smooth muscles attached dorsally to the ccygeal vertebrae that when relaxed (and blood rushes in) causes erection
ischiovavernosus muscles
muscles associated with the pelvic urethra and the penis, enclose the crura, connect penis to ischial arch
urethralis
striated muscles that surrounds pelvic urethra in circular manner, thic hand powerful, move seminal plasma and spermatozoa into the urethra
bulbospongiosus muscles
overlaps the root of the penis and extends down the caudal and ventral surfaces. part way down boar, ram and bull. empties the extrapelvic part of the urethra
What species have an os penis?
carnivores, bats, rodents, shrews, moles, and many primates (not humans)
the female reproductive tract comes mainly from what embryonic remnant?
paramesonephric ducts or mullerian ducts
The mesonephric tubules become
