Q
  • Common reproductive phenomena in cattle
A

subestrus or silent heat

20
Q

kisspeptin can also be given in mares, mice, huamns

A

true

21
Q

Prostaglandin should be administered of AFTER progesterone withdrawal (cows) T/F

A

at the time

22
Q

-GnRH or hCG administration shortly BEFORE progesterone withdrawal (mare, cow, ewe)

A

After

23
Q

T/F kisspeptin increases during breeding season

A

true

24
Q

synthetic GnRH are effective only to animals close to puberty

A

true

25
Q

GnRH in mares should be given BEFORE vernal transition

A

AFTER

26
Q

what hormones do deslorelin inhibits when administered for prolonged periods

A

FSH, LH

27
Q

placed in vulva to continuously produce progesterone

A

eCG thru - Controlled internal drug release (CIDR)

28
Q

accumulation of fluids in abdomen, barrel shaped abdomen

A

dropsy

29
Q

inhibin is produced by __ in females and___ in males

A

granulosa cells

sertoli cells in testis

30
Q

these 2 act together to suppress FSH secretion.

A

Inhibin and oestradiol

31
Q

t/f Tonic release of gonadotrophins, especially LH, does not occur at a steady rate but in a pulsatile fashion in response to a similar release of GnRH from the hypothalamus

A

true

32
Q

Antral follicles are also known as tertiary follicles or

A

graafian follicles

33
Q

the process whereby one or more of the recruited
follicles are selected to develop further

A

selection

34
Q

he mechanism whereby one (the dominant fol-
licle) or several codominant follicles undergo further maturation in an environment in which the growth and development of other antral follicles is suppressed

A

dominance

35
Q

gonadotrophin stimulation of a cohort of rapidly
growing antral follicles

A

recruitment

36
Q

3 accepted descriptions of folliculogenesis

A

recruitment, selection, dominance

37
Q

The dominant follicle secretes inhibin and oestradiol that feedbacks on the hypothalamus–pituitary axis to reduce circulatory FSH concentrations. Thus any antral follicle that is still FSH-dependent will regress and undergo atresia. T/F

A

true

38
Q

The dominant follicle will further develop and can remain dominant for several days. It will undergo its final maturation and ovulate if progesterone concentrations increase T/F

A

not increase. DECLINE

39
Q

____ is suppressive to LH secretin enabling increase in FSH

A

progesterone

40
Q

plays a critically important role in the inhibition of the tonic mode of LH secretion

A

p4

41
Q

t/f only FSH can induce early antral follicular growth

A

true

42
Q

CL is rapidly formed from the____ follicle after ovulation,

A

Graafian

43
Q

The hormones that are most likely to be involved in stimulating CL formation and maintenance

A

LH prolactin

44
Q

prolactin plays a critical role in maintaining the CL in rodents and the dog T/F

A

true

45
Q

2 components of luteal regresion

A

functional and structural regressio

46
Q

current evidence indicates that leptin is likely to exert its effects on LH secretion by modulating ____

A

kisspeptin
