True or False. Circle the correct answer. If a phase or word is underlined it is the central focus of the statement and

cannot be changed to make the statement true. If you answered a question false you must provide a brief but specific statement that would correct the statement to receive credit (3 pts each).

  1. T F The bull and boar have a penis that contains expandable tissue with minimal connective tissue known as a vascular penis ; whereas, the stallion has a penis with non-expendable dense connective tissue known as a fibroelastic penis.

The stallion has a vascular penis and the bull & boar have a fibroelastic penis.

  1. T F The three primary functions of the epididymis are embryo development, sperm storage, and secretion of oxytocin.

The functions as storage, transport, and maturation of sperm

  1. T F Progesterone is known as the hormone of pregnancy and some of its functions include preventing the expression of estrus, blocking myometrial contractions during pregnancy, and stimulation of uterine secretions in the early pregnant animal.

  2. T F From an anatomical perspective, the uterus is composed of three layers including the mesoovarian, mesosalpinx, mesometrium.

The layers are the endometrium, myometrium, perimetrium

  1. T F The penis of the cat is unique in that it has a bulbous glandis and an os-penis or baculum.

The penis of the dog contains these structures.

  1. T F In the cat, dog, and cow, semen is deposited in the fornix vagina. The sperm travels through the cervix, enters the uterine body, through the uterine horns, and ends up in the oviduct where fertilization occurs.

  2. T F The primary steroid hormone secreted by the follicle is progesterone; whereas, the primary steroid hormone secreted by the corpus luteum in estrogen.

The follicle secretes estrogen and the CL produces progesterone

  1. T F In general seminal plasma is secreted from the accessory sex glands , which consist of the prostate, cowpers gland, and seminal vesicles.

d. Please explain how the hormone produced by the endocrine gland in question 3a stimulates the release of hormones from the section of the pituitary in question 3c when it is known that the two endocrine glands are not physically connected (3 pts).

The hypothalamus and anterior pituitary are connected by the Hypothalamic-hypophyseal-portal blood system, which allows hormones to be transported to the anterior pituitary.

e. Name the hormone synthesized and secreted from the paraventricular nucleus and indicate the section of the pituitary where it is stored and eventually secreted into the blood stream (2 pts)?

Oxytocin is secreted from the posterior pituitary

f. Please explain how the hormone released from the paraventricular nucleus travels to the section of the pituitary in question 3e (2 pts).

Oxytocin is secreted from the hypothalamus and travels down nerve axons that stimulate the release of oxytocin from the posterior pituitary.

g. Please provide two distinctly different physiological functions in the female that the hormone listed in question 3f has (3 pts)

Stimulates smooth muscle contractions in reproductive tract (uterus oviduct), promotes PGF 2 α synthesis from uterus, and initiates milk ejection from mammary gland.

  1. The strength of a hormone’s action on a target tissue is driven primarily by four factors. Two of these factors are associated with the hormone itself and two are associated with receptor for the hormone. Please list the four factors in the appropriate blanks below (4 pts).

a. Hormone: pattern and duration of the hormone secretion and (or) half-life of the hormone

b. Receptor: affinity (binding ability) and density (number)

  1. Please answer the following questions as they relate to the anatomy and physiologically of the intact male dog.

a. From a fertility standpoint, what is the primary function of testosterone on the testes (2 pts)?

Stimulates and maintains spermatogenesis

b. Why can the intact male dog produce seminal fluid whereas the castrated male dog can’t (2 pts)?

Testosterone is necessary for the development of the accessory sex glands. Without them the glands do not develop and there is no seminal fluid produced.

c. What role does testosterone have on the phenotype and behavior of the intact male dog (3 pts)?

Stimulates the 2° sex characteristics of the male (makes it look like a male), enhances muscle development, maintains libido, and maintains reproductive tract function so the dog can ejaculate.
