Urogential Lecture Lamprey Shark Cat Pig Kidney Bull Testicle Flashcards
(44 cards)
The ___ of the lamprey is
paired and extends for most of the length of the
pleuroperitoneal cavity
opisthonephric kidney
Lamprey kidney
The ___
runs along the free lateral margin of the kidney
and drains to the cloaca
archinephric duct
lamprey kidney and duct
how many ovaries do lampreys have and why
one, they fuse during development
where are ovary eggs released into
the coelom
where do the eggs go after the coelom
the cloaca
lamprey ovary
How many testes does a lamprey have and why
one TESTIS, it fuses during development
path of the sperm
Sperm released into coelom, makes it
way out of the cloaca
male testis
The ___ of the shark is paired and extends for most of the length of the pleuroperitoneal cavity
opisthonephric kidney,
In the FEMALE shark, the ___ drains urine to the cloaca
archinephric duct
egg path in a shark
Eggs are released from paired ovaries into the coelom, make
their way through the ostium tubae (opening), through the falciform ligament, into the
paired oviducts (fertilization
happens here), are given a thin coating by the nidalmental gland,
then to the uterus (paired!)
where the eggs develop
Shark has an
___ kidney
opisthonephric
In the MALE, the ___ of the kidney is involved in
sperm transport.
archinephric
duct
urine pathway male shark
Urine is drained
by the accessory urinary duct to
the cloaca.
what part of the kidney functions in urine excretion
It is mainly the
posterior 3rd of the kidney that
functions in excretion of urine.
parts of the opisthonephric kidney
sperm pathway in sharks
Sperm is released from the testes,
moves through the ductuli
efferentes to the anterior part of
the kidney termed the epididymis,
which produces secretions. Sperm
moves through the archinephric
duct, a portion of which is wavy and
termed Leydig’s gland. The duct
then straightens and expands to
form the seminal vesicle (more
secretions) and finally the sperm
sac
what does the clasper do
Clasper aids in sperm delivery. It is
inserted into the cloaca of female
during mating, with sperm released
from the urogenital papilla then
traveling along a groove. The
siphon contributes to seminal fluid
cat egg pathway
Note, ovaries technically release
egg into coelom, but make their
way passed the fibriae of the
uterine tube, which leads to the
uterine horn. The two uterine
horns join to form the body
(bipartite uterus, has one cervix).
cat urine pathway female
Paired kidneys produce urine,
which travels through the ureter
(this is the metanephric duct) to
be stored in the bladder, before
exiting via the urethra
sperm pathway cat
testicles, where sperm are produced. From there, they travel to the epididymis, a coiled tube where they mature and are stored. Sperm then move from the epididymis into the ductus deferens (also known as the vas deferens), which carries them towards the urethra
