Study Notes
Female Reproductive System Functions
- Ovaries are both endocrine (hormone production) and cytogenic (gamete production) organs in the female reproductive system.
Ovarian Shape in Species
- In certain species, ovaries are bean-shaped, a notable morphological characteristic that can vary across different types of animals.
Copulation Structure
- The vagina serves as a sheath to accommodate the penis during copulation, playing a vital role in reproduction.
External Genitalia
- The vulva forms the external portion of the female genitalia, extending from the vagina to the exterior, contributing to reproductive functions.
Puberty in Heifers
- Heifers commonly reach puberty around 6 to 12 months of age, depending on breed and environmental factors, marking the onset of reproductive maturity.
