Spr 16- Test 3- Dark, Repro Flashcards
(113 cards)
CS/presentation- Freemartinism
Testes, incomplete uterus, short vagina- infertile, never effectively breed or milk
Cause of freemartinism
Male and female twins, XX/XY female chimera due to MIF from M to F via mixed blood supply. MIF inhibits female differentiation bc sertoli and leydig cells differentiate earlier
At least some tissue from both sets of gonads (M/F)
Hermaphrodite
Gonad/genital mismatch (ex penis with ovaries)
Pseudohermaphrodite
Which hormone is from the anterior pituitary and initiates follicle and ova growth, supports cells
FSH
Which hormone is from the anterior pituitary and stimulates follicular growth and rupture/formation of CL
LH
What hormone causes secondary female characteristics, what else does it do
Estrogen, prepare uterus for pregnancy
What hormone maintains the pregnancy and where does it come from
Progesterone- from CL and placenta
What causes CL and follicle rupture
Prostaglandins
Missing one or both ovaries- what is this called and what is the consequence
ovarian agenesis, low estrogen production
Name the three developmental ovarian conditions
ovarian agenesis, duplication of ovaries, hypoplasia
What type of cyst is clinically significant in horses? dogs?
H: paramesonephric duct cysts; D: cystic SES
What cysts are significant in cows and why
Cystic ovarian disease- interferes with estrus cycling
80% of ovarian tumors in horses
Granulosa cell (thecal cell)
What are kenny grades
repro assessment for horses based on endometrial bx, higher number, worse chance of full term carry
Campylobacter, tritrich, taylorella, arcano bacteria all are agents of what disease
Endometritis of the closed uterus
Describe grade II (Kenny grades) vs grade III
II: Glands grouped in a nest by fibrous connective tissue; III: extensive fibrosis, glands individual, no connective tissue- irreversible
Horse with unilateral ovarian mass, nymphomania, unilateral ovary atrophy, cystic endometrial hyperplasia +/- pyometra; ectopic production of estrogen and inhibin
Granulosa cell tumor (thecal cell)
Cause of CEH
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia- prelude to other conditions, usually due to hormone imbalance (birth control, tumor production)
CEH- sequelae
Pyometra
Which form of pyometra is emergency
Closed- build up of toxins, very sick, surgery best, high neutrophil count
Neoplasia of the ovary that is similar to seminoma in the testicle
Dysgerminoma
Neoplasia that arises from SES (sub epithelial structures), can cause ascites
Ovarian carcinoma and adenocarcinoma
Sequelae of ovarian carcinoma and adenocarcinoma
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia; carcinomatosis
