Reproductive Systems
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Male Anatomy | Testies, Vas Deferens, Accessory Sex glands, Penis, |
| Testicles | Seminiferous, Leydig, Epiditmis, |
| Seminiferous tubules | Produce Sperm, are located in Testies |
| Leydig | Located in Testies Interstitial Cells of Leydig produce testosterone |
| Epidiymis | Adheres to the side of the testicle; it connects the seminiferous tubules to the vas defers and provides storage for sperm and a place for maturation |
| Van Deferens (Ductus Deferens) | Connects to the epididymis to the urethra, is part of the spermatic cord, along w/ blood vessels and cords |
| Spermatic Cord | Passes through the inguinal ring; at this point , the vas deferens separates and joints the urethra |
| Accessory Sex Glands of the Male | Produce semen, which provides a transport medium for sperm. |
| Accessory Sex Glands of the Male Dogs | Dogs have a prostrate only |
| Accessory Sex Glands of the Male Cats | Cats have Cowper's gland (bulbourethral) and a prostate |
| Accessory Sex Glands of the Male Horses | prostrate, bulbourethral, ampulla and seminal vesicle (vesicular glands) |
| Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) | Secreted from the pituitary, causing spermatogenesis to begin |
| Interstitial Cell-Stimulating Hormone (ICSH) | Secreted from the pituitary, causing the interstitial cells of Leydig to produce testosterone |
| Female Anatomy | Ovaries, Oviducts, Uterine horns and Uterus, cervix, vagina, Vulva |
| Ovaries | paired oval organs found in the abdomen, produce ova and hormones |
| Oviduct | Conducts ova from ovary to uterine horn or uterus (depending on species) |
| Uterine horn and or Uterus- depending on species | In dogs and cats, young develop in the uterine horns. Animals that only birth one offspring, use the Uterus |
| Cervix | Opening to the uterus- some species have a double cervix- ie Rabbit. |
| Endometrium | Epithelial cells, mucous membrane and glands |
