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
