22
Q

Sympathetic system controls:

A

-the deposition of semen
*ejaculation

23
Q

Stallion perineum: crus

A

-erectile tissue and tunica albuginea that surrounds it
-surrounded by ischiocavernosus m. (what they are sitting on)

24
Q

Penis of the dog:

A

-root (bulb)
-bulbus glandus: enlargement of the glands
-body
-glans

25
Q

Corpus cavernosum in dogs

A

-not as extensive as corpus spongiosum which surrounds the urethra
-surrounded by thick fibrous tissue (tunica albgineas)

26
Q

Glans penis of dog:

A

-extensive
-doesn’t increase in length b/c of bone (os penis) in the middle
-girth increases a lot during copulation

27
Q

Dog copulation:

A

-penis is interested into vagina when it is not fully erected
-when fully erected=twisted and bulbus glandus is enlarged
*tie due to engorgement of blood, twisting and female constricting the muscle

28
Q

Blood to the penis:

A

-internal pudendal artery
-once at penis=artery of penis
>artery of bulb
>deep artery of penis
>dorsal artery of penis

29
Q

Artery of bulb:

A

-into bulb and the corpus spongiosum

30
Q

Deep artery of the penis:

A

-into 2 crura of corpus cavernosum

31
Q

Dorsal artery of the penis:

A

-dorso-lateral aspect of distal free part (glans)
-superficial

32
Q

Veins of the penis:

A

-largely satellite
-drain cavernous spaces
-eventually converge to drain into internal pudendal vein

33
Q

Venous occlusion happens at 3 spots:

A

-ischial arch
-prepuce
-vestibule of female
*relax arteries and constrict veins

34
Q

Erection (sexual stimulation) steps:

A
  1. Arteries dilate at entrance of cavernous tissue
  2. Filling of spongy and cavernous spaces
  3. Distention
  4. Restriction of venous outflow (pressure on tunica albuginea and contraction of the 3 muscles)
  5. Relaxation of retractor penis m
  6. Extension of glans penis beyond prepuce
35
Q

Penis of the cat: positions

A

-normal state: faces backwards
-during erection: straightens
-completed erected state: faces forward

36
Q

Glans penis of cats:

A

-not as extensive as in dogs
-base is wider than the tip
-spines
>dependent on testosterone level
-castrated=no spines (smooth)

37
Q

How does the semen reach the end of the penis?

A

-doesn’t use peristaltic movement of muscles (no muscles at the end)
*uses pressure of blood

38
Q

How are the necessary pressures generated?

A

*constricting outflow AND allowing the blood to come in
-2 muscles continue to pump the blood through
-475 psi when erected
(ruptures at 1500 psi)

39
Q

What does the root of the penis do?

A

-where the muscles continually pulsate and push the blood through
>pressure increases in corpus spongiosum
>squeeze urethral lining and semen leaves

40
Q

What are the 2 general penis types?

A
  1. Musculo-cavernous
  2. Fibro-elastic
41
Q

Musculo-cavernous penis:

A

-stallion
-carnivores
-man
*corpus cavernous has muscles=can relax and increase in length

42
Q

Fibro-elastic penis:

A

-ruminants
-boar
-camelids
*doesn’t increase in length, but expands in diameter=more pressure
*sigmoid flexure to keep ‘extra length’ inside the body

43
Q

Sigmoid flexure part of boar penis:

A

-cranial of testicles

44
Q

Sigmoid flexure part of ruminants penis:

A

-caudal to testicles
*not in cervids

45
Q

Erectile tissue in the penis of the horse

A

-fossa glandis
-urethral sinus (diverticulum)

*no os penis

46
Q

Urethral process: animals

A

-horses
-bulls
-rams=extensive

47
Q

Pigs penis:

A

-corkscrew

50
Q

Internal layer of prepuce is continuous with

A
