Parts of nephron and functions of each segment
● Renal Corpuscles - glomerulus and bowmans capsule (filters the blood)
● Renal Tubules - proximal/distal convoluted tubules (glucose and amino acid reabsorption), loop of
henle (water reabsorption), distal and convoluted straight tubule (site for antidiuretic hormone and diuretic agents)
= blood goes in glomerulus (afferent) then exits (efferent
Part responsible for sperm formation
Seminiferous tubules
Part responsible for sperm maturation
Tail of epididymis (caudal)
Muscular tube that undergoes contraction during ejaculation
Vas Deferens or Ductus Deferens
Secrete semen/ seminal fluid
Accessory sex glands (male)
- Ampullary gland
- Bulbourethral/Cowper’s gland
Only accessory sex gland present in dog
Prostate Gland
Common passageway for urine and seminal fluid
Urethra
- Pelvic urethra
- Penile urethra
Male organ of copulation
Penis
Invaginated fold of skin that surrounds and protects the free extremity of penis
Prepuce
Surrounds and suspends the testicles
Scrotum
Progesterone and estrogen secreting structures
Ovarian follicles secrete estrogen
Corpus Luteum (ruptured GF) secretes = Progesterone
Extruded from the graafian follicle to the exterior of the ovary during ovulation
Ovum
Finger-like projections at the free extremity of infundibulum which helps to catch the ova
Fimbriae
Funnel-shaped portion of the uterine tube
Infundibulum
Site of fertilization in mammalian reproductive tract
Magnum in uterine tube
Type of uterus in single and multiple bearing animals
- Bicornuate: multiparous
- Bipartite: uniparous
