What are the 5 major components of the female reproductive tract?

1. Ovaries


2. Oviduct


3. Uterus


4. Cervix


5. Vagina

What are the 4 Concentric layers of the female reproductive tract?

1. Serosa


2. Muscularis


3. Submucosa


4. Mucosa

Describe the Serosa the first concentric layer.

is the outer most coating made up of squamous cells

Describe the Muscularis the second concentric layer.

is a double layer of smooth muscle. this smooth muscle layer is also referred to as the myometriom ( gives the tract the ability to contract and relax

Describe the Submucosa the third concentric layer.

houses blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics

Describe the Mucosa the forth concentric layer.

is the seconed layer of the epithelium. and secretes materials into the lumen of the uterus to enhance embryo development and sperm viability

What is the Myometrium (or Musculares)?

a double layer of smooth muscle. this smooth muscle layer is also referred to as the myometriom ( gives the tract the ability to contract and relax

What is the endometrium?

the submucosa and mucosa of the uterus comprise the endometrium.

What is the function of the broad ligament?

The broad ligament supports the female reproductive tract and houses the vascular supply, lymphatic drainage and nerves for the reproductive organs.

Describe the anatomy of the ovary.

There are 2 parts to the ovary. The Mudula which is the inner part of the ovary and the cortex which is the outer part of the ovary.

How is the mare's ovary different from other domestic species?

The mare's ovary is inside out compared to other domestic species. The Mudula is the outer part of the ovary and the Cortex is the inner part of the ovary.

What are the 4 types of follicles?

1. Primordial Follicles


2. Primary Follicles


3. Secondary Follicles


4. Antral Follicle (aka Tertiory Follicle)

Describe the Primordial Follicle.

Smallest with single layer of squomous cells

Describe the Primary Follicle.

Has a single layer of cuboidal cells

Describe the Secondary Follicle.

Has 2+ layers of cuboidal cells, beginning to form fluid-filled antrum

Describe the Anteral Follicle (aka Tertiory Follicle)

is fluid-filled antrum comprises > 50% of volume and produces E2 and Inhibian. Becomes the ova

How is estrodiol produced? what hormone cells are involved?

E2 is produced by the Antral Follicle (domonate folical) 20% of the estrus cycle. produced by the granulosa cells which tern testosterone into estrodiol (E2)

What are the different types of uteri ? (what species have each type)? there are 3

1. Duplex


2. Bicornuate


3. Simplex

How does the endometrail surface vary between species?

in ruminants the surface of the endometrium has caruncles. (protruding discs)




in sows and mares the surface of the endometrium has folds

Describe the Duplex uterus.

Has 2 cervical canal that separate each uterine horn into distinct compartments (Rabbit, Marsupials)

Describe the Bicornuate uterus.

has 2 uterine horns and a small uterine body (cow, Mare, Sow)

Describe the Simplex uterus.

Has a large single uterine body with small rudimentary uterine horns (primate)

How many Sperm per day does a mail reproductive system produce?

25 billion

what are the main 2 hormones produced by the mail reproductive system?

1. Testosterone


2. Estrodiol

What are the 2 primary functions of the mail reproductive system?

1. formation of sperm


2. despoliation of sperm into the female reproductive tract

The Testes are...

the primary paired reproduction organs.

What are the 2 things the Testes produce?

1. Sperm


2. Testosterone

Where is sperm produced?

Siminiferous tubules

The Siminiferous produce what?

Sperm

The siminiferous tubules must have ____________ in order to produce sperm.

Testosterone

What is the epididymis responsible for?

Transport,concentration, storage and


maturation of sperm

Epididymal transport is facilitated by...

1. Sperm production


2. peristaltic contractions and negative pressure in the vas-deferance and urethra


3. Ejaculation

What is the primary storage site for sperm?

Epididymal Tail (couda)

What are the optimal conditions for sperm


storage? There are 5.

1. Low PH


2. High Viscosity


3. High CO2


4. Testosterone


5. Low metabolic rate

How long can sperm survive in the tail of the epidimis?

up to 60 days

The Vasa Deferentia is part of the ____________.

Spermatic cord

What does the Spermatic cord do?

1. Suspends the testes in the scrotem


2. Houses the Blood supply, Lymph and Nervous tissue


3. Helps with heat exchange

What is the Crenaster muscle?

The primary muscle supporting the testes (contracts and relaxes for heat exchange)

What is the Pompiniform Plexus?

Complex vasculauture created by the entuinenent of the testicular ortery and vern (important for temp controle and hormone diffusion)

What is the Scrotum?

is a two- lobed sack which encloses the testes and regulates temp

what is the Tunica Dortos?

Smooth muscle layer between the skin helps control temp by adjusting distance of testes from the body

What do the Accerrory Glands do?

1. Help sperm live (up to half of ejaculate)


2. Protect sperm from acidity of the vagina

What do the Bulbarethral Glands do?

Clean out urethra to protect sperm
