19
Q

Placental type that has special sites of attachments, is noninvasive and is seen in ruminant species like cows, sheep and goats

A

Cotyledonary

20
Q

Special sites of attachment that form adjacent to caruncles

A

Cotyledons

21
Q

convex caruncles are seen in

A

cows

22
Q

concave caruncles are seen in

A

ewes

23
Q

Maternal side of placenta in ruminants

A

caruncle

24
Q

Fetal side of placenta in ruminants

A

cotyledon

25
Q

What nurtures the embryo pre-implantation?

A

cytoplasm of the zygote/blastocyst
uterine and oviductal secretions

26
Q

What nurtures the embryo post-implantation?

A

Placental membranes

27
Q

stored energy and mRNA in the cytoplasm

A

Histotrophic nutrition

28
Q

Selective transfer across the placenta of AA, FAs, glucose, CO2, O2, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes; affects the placental size and is dependent on the uterine capacity

A

Hemotrophic nutrition

29
Q

Factors affecting fetal growth

A

-genetics
-environment/nutrition (mother smoking, diet of the mother; intrauterine-placental size; uterine capacity)
-litter size (breed differences)

30
Q

When is exponential rate of growth of the fetus seen?

A

In the late stages of gestation

31
Q

Factors that affect gestation length

A

-Sex of fetus
-number of offspring
-age of dam
-genetics
-season (bred out of season for seasonally polyestrus species has an opposite effect on gestation length)

32
Q

Generally the older the animal the…(in terms of gestation length)

A

longer the gestation length

33
Q

Which of the following functions is not completed by the placenta?

a.Induce uterine contractions

b.Aid in fetal respiration

c.Steroidogenesis

d.Provide fetal protection

e.Supply the fetus with nutrients

A

a. Induce uterine contractions

34
Q

What is the outermost fetal layer of the placenta?

A

chorionic epithelium

35
Q

What is the innermost fetal layer of the hemochorial placenta?

A

fetal endothelium

36
