Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology of Reproductive Systems
- Endometrium is the inner layer of the uterus, playing a vital role in implantation and menstrual cycle.
- Perineum is the area between the vaginal orifice or scrotum and the anus, significant in childbirth and sexual function.
- Coitus, also known as copulation, is the act of sexual intercourse.
- Parturition refers to the act of giving birth, a crucial phase in the reproductive process.
- Dystocia is the term for a difficult birth, which may require medical aid.
- Pseudocyesis is a condition of false pregnancy, involving symptoms without actual gestation.
Reproductive Disorders and Terms
- Hermaphroditism describes an individual possessing both ovarian and testicular tissue, leading to complex reproductive characteristics.
- Pyometra is characterized by pus accumulation in the uterus, often requiring surgical intervention.
- Amnion is the innermost membrane surrounding the embryo in the uterus, providing cushioning and protection.
- Implantation is the process of a zygote attaching and embedding into the uterine lining.
Gametes, Cycles, and Gestation
- The ovum acts as the female gamete, essential for fertilization and reproduction.
- The estrous cycle denotes the heat cycle in females, influencing fertility and behavioral changes.
- Udder specifically refers to the mammary gland in large animals, crucial for milk production.
- The placenta is the organ facilitating nutrient, oxygen, and waste exchange between the mother and developing offspring.
Development and Terms Related to Pregnancy
- Teratogens are substances that can induce changes or cause genetic abnormalities during pregnancy.
- Genitals refer to the reproductive organs, which can be either male or female.
- A bulla is an enlarged part of a tube or canal, relevant in various anatomical contexts.
- An episiotomy is a surgical incision made during childbirth to ease delivery and prevent tearing of maternal tissues.
Surgical and Reproductive Procedures
- Intact refers to an animal that has not been neutered, maintaining reproductive capabilities.
- Ovariohysterectomy is another term for spaying, a common surgical procedure in female animals.
- Orchidectomy is the surgical procedure to fix a cryptorchid condition, where a testis has not descended.
- Presentation discusses the orientation of the fetus prior to its delivery, significant for a successful birth process.
Uterine Anatomy and Related Terms
- Cornus, corpus, and cervix pertain to specific regions of the uterus, each with distinct functions.
- Phimosis includes a suffix meaning "condition," used in medical terminology to describe specific abnormalities.
- OHE stands for ovariohysterectomy, with "H" representing hyster (uterus).
Pregnancy and Neonatology
- Gestation describes the period of pregnancy, critical for the development of the fetus.
- Sterility is defined as the inability to reproduce, affecting both male and female fertility.
- Viviparous refers to species that bear live young, while oviparous indicates those that lay eggs.
- The allantois is the innermost layer of the placenta, contributing to waste management during development.
Additional Terms in Reproductive Health
- The chorion is the outermost layer of the placenta, involved in nutrient transfer and protection.
- Colostrum is the first milk produced post-birth, essential for providing vital nutrients and antibodies to neonates.
- Abortion signifies the termination of pregnancy, which can be spontaneous or induced.
- Colp/o and vagin/o are root terms meaning vagina, important in medical vocabulary regarding female anatomy.
- Hyster/o, metr/o, and uter/o also refer to the uterus, with various applications in medical terminology regarding reproductive health.
Word Parts and Terminology
- Pen/l and priap/o relate to the penis, essential in discussing male reproductive health.
- Orch/o, orchi/o, orchid/o, test/o, and testicul/o refer to the testis, critical in male reproductive system studies.
- Sperm/o and spermat/o mean spermatozoa, indicating male gametes involved in reproduction.
- The term for pus is indicated by the root py/o, and the term for uterus can be represented by metr/o or hyster.
- Ectomy refers to surgical removal, with hysterectomy denoting the surgical removal of the uterus.
