25
the type of placental attachment involving separate, specific attachment sites on both the uterus and the placenta that interdigitate tightly with each other
Cotyledonary Placental Attachment
26
the sites of attachment in cotyledonary placentas
Placentome
27
the portion of the placentome that is on the surface of the placenta and interdigitates with the uterine lining
Cotyledon
28
The portion of the placentome that is on the surface of the uterine lining that interdigitates with the placenta
Caruncle
29
infection of the uterus
Metritis
30
the type of placental attachment in which the placental attaches to the uterus like a belt that encircles the placenta
Zonary Placental Attachment
31
the type of placental attachment in which the attachment between placenta and uterus is a single, discrete, disc-shaped area
Discoid Placental attachment
32
What type of placental attachment do cattle, sheep, and goats have?
Cotyledonary
33
What type of placental attachment do dogs and cats have?
Zonary
34
What type of placental attachment do primates, rabbits, and rodents have?
Discoid
35
the segment of time from fertilization of the ovum to the delivery of the newborn and is typically divided into trimesters
Gestation Period
36
Trimester Characteristics: - Zygote implants - Placenta develops
First Trimester
37
Trimester Characteristics: - Fetal development period - All body tissues, organs, and systems develop
Second Trimester
38
Trimester Characteristics: - Fetal growth period - All parts of fetus grow dramatically
3rd Trimester
39
List the 3 stages of labor
1. Uterine contractions 2. Delivery of newborn 3. Delivery of the placenta
40
the stage of labor in which the myometrium contracts as the cervix relaxes, the fetus is pressed against the cervix, and the cervix gradually dilates
Uterine Contractions
41
the stage of labor in which strong uterine + abdominal contractions rupture the amniotic and allantoic sacs
Delivery of Newborn
42
the stage of labor in which the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus and is expelled
Delivery of Placenta
43
the contraction of the uterus down to its nonpregnant size
Involution of the Uterus
44
specialized skin glands that produce colostrum and milk that are needed by neonates
Mammary Gland
45
the large and specialized mammary glands of a cow
Udder
46
the mammary glands in the udder of a cow that each have their own milk-secreting systems and ducts leading down to their own teats
Quarters
47
What are the 2 types of ligaments in the suspensory system of the udder
1. Median Suspensory Ligament 2. Lateral Suspensory Ligaments
48
ligament that passes down the center between the left and right halves of the udder and contain many elastic fibers so it can stretch
Medial Suspensory Ligament
49
ligament that pass down and around the outsides of each half of the udder and contain strong inelastic collagen fibers
Lateral Suspensory Ligament
50
the milk-secreting units of the mammary gland
Alveoli
51
the tiny tube in which the tiny, saclike arrangement of cells secrete milk into
Alveolar Duct
52
the large space located just dorsal to the teat and is where the largest ducts empty in order to accumulate milk
Gland Sinus
53
the large space that is a continuation of the gland sinus and is where milk accumulates
Teat Sinus
54
the passageway from the teat sinus to the outside that is surrounded by elastic fibers and a ring-like sphincter muscle to minimize leakage
Streak Canal
55
the process of milk production that begins toward the end of pregnancy and is obvious at the time of parturition
Lactation
56
a pre-milk secretion produced by the mammary gland that contains high levels of various essential vitamins, contains larger amounts of proteins, lipids, and amino acids than milk, and transfers passive immunity to the newborn
Colostrum
57
proteins found in colostrum that are specific to disease-causing organisms the dam has been exposed to or vaccinated against
Immunoglobulins (Antibodies)
58
the "drying up" of the mammary gland due to lack of hormonal stimulation and increased pressure on the gland due to it no longer being emptied
Involution of the Mammary Gland
59
cells around the alveoli and small ducts that contract during milk let-down so the milk can move to the larger ducts
Myoepithelial Cells
60
the term for the placenta once it has been delivered
Afterbirth
61
the process through which uterine and abdominal contractions cause the membranes of the placenta to rupture and release their fluid
Water Breaking
62
problems during the birthing process
Dystocia
63
Give 2 common causes of dystocia
1. Fetus is too large to pass 2. Abnormal presentation
64
the state in which the fetus is in wrong position to deliver
Abnormal Presentation
65
the action of pushing a fetus back far enough to allow it to be repositioned for delivery
Repelling the Fetus
66
the surgical removal of a fetus
C-Section
67
the procedure of cutting up a dead fetus into small enough segments to be removed through the birth canal to save the life of the dam
Embryotomy
68
Which 2 hormones are involved in the breeding stage?
1. Estrogens 2. Oxytocin
69
Which hormones are involved during the gestation stage?
Progestins
70
Which 6 hormones are involved in the parturition stage?
1. Relaxin 2. ACTH 3. Glucocorticoids 4. Estrogens 5. Prostaglandins 6. Oxytocin
71
Which 3 hormones are involved in lactation stage?
1. GH 2. Prolactin 3. Oxytocin
