16
Q

What is the role of the mesosalpinx?

A

attaches the oviduct to the peritoneal region

17
Q

What is the role of the mesovarium?

A

attaches ovary to the body wall

18
Q

What is the role of the mesometrium?

A

attaches uterine horns and part of the uterine body to the body wall

19
Q

Which is the major portion of the broad ligament?

b) Mesometrium
c) Mesosalpinx

A

b) Mesometrium

20
Q

If a uterus is striated, what does this indicate?

A

That animal has had a past pregnancy

21
Q

What is the ovarian bursa?

A

Peritoneal sac that encloses the ovary, is formed by extensions of the mesovarium and mesosalpinx

22
Q

What is the role of the suspensory ligament of the ovary?

A

Connects the ovary to the abdominal wall in proximities to the caudal pole of the kidneys (Will pluck or tear this ligament during a spay to free the ovaries)

23
Q

What is the role of the proper ligament of the ovary?

A

It is a short and dense ligament that connects the caudal pole of the ovary with the cranial extremity of the uterine horn

24
Q

What is the role of the round ligament of the uterus?

A

band of connective tissue that extends from the ovary to the inguinal canal
Concha loves questions about this

25
Q

The female reproductive system can be found between which two body systems in the abdomen?

GI system (dorsal)
Urinary Bladder (ventral)

26
Q

What is the vaginal fornix?

A

Blind sac in the most cranial end of the vagina, ventral to the cervical opening

27
Q

What is the urethral tubercle?

A

Hole that opens into the vagina from the urinary bladder

28
Q

What structure is more dorsal to the vagina?

A

The rectum
