25
When the male/female won’t engage in copulatory behaviors again for a period of time it’s called?
Refractory period
26
What are some post copulatory behaviors exhibited from both females or males?
Vocalization, genital, grooming, licking
27
Where is reproductive behavior programmed?
In utero
28
What is masculinizations?
The potential of developing male-like behavior after puberty
29
Reproductive behavior is controlled?
Endocrine
30
What is an example of can effect of prenatal exposure exposures that only affects females?
Freemartins
31
Reproductive behavior only happens when what is engaged ?
The hypothalamus
32
In the male, what is aromatized to E2?
Testosterone
33
What type of supply is Testosterone and E2 in the male?
Constant
34
In the female, E2 is high during?
Follicular phase only
35
What initiates reproductive behavior?
Olfaction, vision, audition, tactility
36
What things give way to olfaction stimulus?
Female secretions from tract and pheromones cause behavior or stimulate. Male pheromones attract or stimulate
37
In swine, what two secretions contain pheromones?
Salive from su maxillary glands and preputial pouch secretions
38
What species can ID cows in estrus?
Dogs and rats
39
The long range signal for males is a what stimuli?
Vocalization
40
Close encounters lead to visual cues. What is an example of males being stimulated by observing? What advantages can be seen?
Warm up stalls. Reduce collection time and increase sperm concentration
41
The final stimulus before copulation is usually?
Tactile
42
Example of tactile stimulus?
Nuzzling and neck biting
43
What are the final events in the precopulatory stage?
Erection and protrusion
44
What tissues engorge with blood?
Corpus cavernosa and spongiosum
45
Why is there an increased rigidity of the penis?
Because of an increase in arterial blood flow compared to venous outflow
46
Blood flow increases because of what?
Increase in vasodilation of arterioles and increased pressure in veins (more pooling)
47
What muscle must relax?
Penis retractor muscle
48
What straighten in fibroelastic penises?
The sigmoid flexure
49
What muscles contract the penile veins intermittently?
Ischiocavernous
50
What are the 5 erection events?
1-elevated arterial blood flow 2- corporal sinusoids dilation 3- venous outflow restriction 4- elevated intrapenile pressure 5- retractor penis muscle relaxation
51
What neurotransmitter drives the erectile process?
Nitrous oxide
52
What induces smooth muscle tone?
PDE5
53
What drives the smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) of the erectile process?
Enzymatic reaction
54
What is the 3rd step of copulatory behavior?
Ejaculation: sensory stimulation of glans penis
55
How long is the 1st stage of coitus in the dog?
1-2 mins
56
What happens in the 1st of coitus in the dog?
Mounting and intromission
57
Which fraction is ejaculated in the first stage of coitus in the dog?
1st and 2nd
58
What happens after the 1st stage of coitus in the dog?
The turn,a transition phase in which the male dismounts and passes a hind leg over
59
How long does the turn take?
2-5s
60
The stage of coitus in the dog in which the 3rd fraction is ejaculated and they are “tied” is?
The second stage
61
Why are the male and female tied?
Because the bulbous gland is remains engorged and the vulva contracts
62
What are the 4 ejaculation steps?
1- intromission 2- glans penis stimulation 3- contraction of urethralis, bulbuspongious, ischiocavernous muscle 4- semen expulsion
63
What is ejaculation?
Expulsion of sperm and seminal plasma
64
The movement of seminal fluids from the accessory glands into pelvic urethra to mix spermatozoa?
Emission
65
Seminal plasma is produced by?
Epididymis, ampulla of vas deferens, vesicular glands
66
The refractory period length depends on ?
Degree of sexual rest prior, age, species
67
How can we manage preference of males over a single estrus female?
Coolidge effect: introduce females every hour to increase mounts and estrus detection
68
Sexual preparation includes
Sensory stimulation, stimulation of PVN and Supraoptic nerve, release of oxytocin from PP, smooth muscle contraction (distal tail of epididymis and ductus deferens), spermatic transport into ejaculatory position
69
What can we do to increase sperm concentration output?
False mounting and restraint
70
What things do sperm have to do once in the female reproductive tract?
Transverse cervix, transported through uterus/oviduct, undergo capacitation, bind to oocyte
71
What species deposit semen vaginally?
Cow, sheep, rabbit
72
Stallion and pig deposit semen where?
Cervically or in uterine lumen
73
The stallion ejaculates in a type of ?
Jets
74
Which fraction that contains 3-4 squirts and most of spermatozoa is sperm-rich in stallions?
The first
75
The boar’s 1st fraction of ejaculate contains ?
Accessory fluid & gel
76
Which Fraction of the boars ejaculate contains gel?
3rd
77
The dog’s fraction that contains no cells is?
The 1st
78
The third fraction of the dog’s ejaculate is ? And occurs when?
Prostate. Occurs while tied in surges
79
Two ways sperm can be lost in female reproductive tract?
Phagocytosis and retrograde transport
80
What are the two phases of spermatozoa transport?
Rapid and sustained
81
Which phase of transport is damaging to sperm?
Rapid
82
When temporary docking to epithelium occurs, what does it do to spermatozoa?
Promotes viability to begin capacitation
