mare. Answer: The uterus of the cow has uterine horns of
intermediate length, while in the mare there are short uterine horns
and a relatively large uterine body.
◉ Name a cell type found within the seminiferous tubule and list its
function. Answer: Sertoli cells are found within the seminiferous
tubule. There functions include governing spermatogenesis, act as
receptors for FSH and testosterone, producing testosterone
transport proteins, and assist in the formation of the blood testis
barrier.
,◉ Name a cell type found outside the seminiferous tubule and its
function. Answer: Leydig cells are found outside of the seminiferous
tubules. The leydig cells produce testosterone.
◉ Identify and briefly describe the function of the accessory glands
of the male. Answer: the accessory glands add volume to the
ejaculate, buffer, nutrients, as well as flush urine.
The ampulla serves to support the enlargement of the ductus
deferens.The vesicular glands, also known as the seminal vesicles
contribute to a large portion of the seminal plasma.The prostate
secretes fluid as well as inorganic compounds.The Cowper's gland is
the gel fraction, which helps filter out and clean urine.
◉ What is the major difference between the following: glans penis of
the ram and boar. Answer: the glans penis of the boar consists of a
"corkscrew" configuration. The ram has a filiform appendage on the
glans penis.
◉ What is the major difference between the following: testes of the
bull and boar. Answer: the testes of the boar are suspended in an
inverted respect to that of the bulls.
◉ What is the major difference between the following: penis of the
ram and stallion. Answer: the stallion has a vascular penis, while the
ram has a fibro elastic penis
,◉ Allantois. Answer: Develops from primitive gut, collects liquid
waste and fuses with chorion as it grows
◉ Amnion. Answer: Serves to protect the embryo by providing

condition?
"Lack of descent of both testicles in a 90 day old bull calf". Answer:
B. Bilateral cryptorchidism
◉ A neuroendocrine response would result in a stimulus signal
being transmitted through the afferent neurons to the spinal cord
then to the hypothalamus, followed by the anterior or posterior
pituitary to the target tissue to elicit its response.. Answer: true
◉ Milk ejection from the mammary system is an example of a simple
neural reflex. Answer: False
◉ What part of the GnRH neuron produces the neuropeptide..
Answer: D. cell body
◉ True or false, phagocytosis via neutrophils are the only way
spermatozoa lost in the female tract.. Answer: False
