Study Notes

Female Reproductive Tract

The genital tract of non-pregnant cows is located in the pelvic cavity
In cows, the clitoris serves as a sensory organ to detect estrus
The vestibule in the cow's reproductive tract is the gateway to the internal reproductive system
The uterus in cows has a narrow lumen and a Y shape
In mares, the uterus has a wide lumen and a T shape
The uterus divides into two separate horns in pigs
The fluid secreted by glands in the walls of the uterus prepares the uterus for implantation of the fertilized ovum
The cervix is adjacent to the uterus
The vagina is the major structure of the female reproductive tract that precedes the cervix
The female pelvis is distinguishable from the male pelvis by a wider pelvic canal and a more flexible pelvic floor
The oviducts in birds connect the uterus to the ovaries
The Avian oviducts are responsible for egg formation and laying
A good understanding of the anatomy and physiology of male and female animals is important in managing reproduction

Male Reproductive System

The prostate gland is located at the base of the bladder
Cowper's glands produce a secretion that often drips from the penis during sexual excitement
Seminal vesicles produce a secretion that forms part of the semen
The urethra is responsible for conducting urine and semen out of the body
During sexual arousal, the spongy-type material within the penis becomes engorged with blood
The primary product of the male reproductive system is sperm
Hormones like testosterone contribute to the efficacy of the male reproductive system
The testes produce sperm, and hormones regulate sperm production and fertility
The epididymis, vas deferens, and urethra function from sperm production to ejaculation
Hormones like testosterone are important in the male reproductive process, regulating sperm production and fertility

Reproduction Management

Understanding the anatomy and physiology of male and female animals is crucial in managing reproduction
Knowing the reproductive system enables the development of effective breeding programs
