    Study Notes

    Cow's Reproductive System

    • The cow's reproductive system is located in the pelvic area.

    External Genitalia

    • The external genitalia in cows is known as the vulva.

    Infundibulum

    • The infundibulum is the funnel-shaped part of the oviduct (Fallopian Tube) that receives the ovum (egg) released from the ovary.

    Estrogen Secretion

    • The ovaries are responsible for secreting the hormone estrogen in cows.

    Cervix Function

    • The cervix acts as a tight seal to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus during pregnancy.
    • The cervix also aids in reproduction by allowing sperm to pass through during mating.

    Uterus Role

    • The uterus provides a safe and nourishing environment for the developing fetus during pregnancy.

    Oviduct (Fallopian Tube) Function

    • The primary function of the oviduct (Fallopian Tube) is to facilitate the movement of the ovum (egg) from the ovary to the uterus.

    Cervix Structure

    • A key characteristic of the cervix's structure is that it is a narrow, muscular tube that connects the uterus to the vulva.
