AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔castration effects - ✔✔no secondary sex characteristics
grow slower
fatten quickly
higher meat quality
fewer behavior problems
✔✔gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - ✔✔produced in hypothalamus in brain
- stimulates LH and FSH release
✔✔gonadotropic - ✔✔- produced by the anterior pituitary gland
✔✔Follicle Stimulating Hormone in male (FSH) - ✔✔stimulates development of sperm in
seminiferous tubes
✔✔Luteinizing hormone in males (LH) - ✔✔stimulates secretion of testosterone in
testes
✔✔ovary - ✔✔primary sex organ in female
-produces ova (egg) and hormones
, ✔✔Follicle - ✔✔filled with fluid
-Graafian Follicle - mature follicle
✔✔Ovulation - ✔✔follicle ruptures and releases egg
✔✔corpus hemorrhagicum - ✔✔site formerly occupied by the ovum is filled with blood
✔✔corpus luteum (yellow body) - ✔✔if pregnant, the corpus hemorrhagicum is filled
with cells and produces a corpus luteum to secrete progestrone to maintain pregnancy
✔✔corpus albicans (white body) - ✔✔if pregnancy does not occur the corpus luteum
regresses to form a corpus albicans
✔✔Oviducts (Fallopian Tubes) - ✔✔site of fertilization
✔✔infundibulum - ✔✔funnel to pick up ovulated egg
✔✔Ampulla - ✔✔carries egg to sperm for fertilization
✔✔Isthmus - ✔✔carries sperm to egg for fertilization
✔✔Uterus (womb) - ✔✔site of placental, embryonic, and fetal development
✔✔Uterine horns - ✔✔2 parts
✔✔uterine body - ✔✔looks different in species where placenta attaches
✔✔Cervix - ✔✔connects uterus to vagina
open during estrus
sealed during pregnancy
✔✔Vagina - ✔✔copulatory organ for the female,
birth canal and bladder also open in vagina
✔✔Clitoris - ✔✔highly sensitice organ at lower tip of vagina
stimulation during AI may increase conception
✔✔Vulva - ✔✔external genitalia
same as scrotum in male
✔✔Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) in females - ✔✔produced in
hypothalamus
stimulates LH and FSH release
