Reproductive Physiology (ANSC 3401)
Exam 2 Questions & Answers (Grade
A+)
Vestibule -
correct answer ✅Common pathway for reproductive and urinary
systems
Labia minora -
correct answer ✅inner lips of vulva
Labia majora -
correct answer ✅outer lips of vulva
Clitoris -
correct answer ✅erectile tissue, sensory nerves to tell animal that
she is being mated; homologous to glans penis
Vagina -
correct answer ✅"vaginal vault" copulatory organ, site of semen
deposition, absorbs seminal plasma, acidic pH, IgG and IgA, part of
birth canal and urinary canal
Parts: highly elastic muscle and connective tissue, epithelial tissue
that changes at estrus and becomes cornified (rougher)
Layers: Tunica serosa, tunica muscularis, tunica mucosa

Exam 2 Questions & Answers (Grade
A+)
Vaginal fornix -
correct answer ✅"blind pouch" - can cause problems during AI
suburethral diverticulum -
correct answer ✅imaginary line that separates the vaginal vault
and the vestibule
Seminal plasma absorption in the vaginal vault is good and bad for
sperm because? -
correct answer ✅good - support sperm
bad - reduce motility of sperm
Acidic pH in the vaginal vault is good and bad because? -
correct answer ✅good - defend vagina from infections (BARRIER)
bad - sperm do not like low pH
Tunica serosa -
correct answer ✅connective layer, outermost, tough
, Reproductive Physiology (ANSC 3401)
Exam 2 Questions & Answers (Grade
A+)
Tunica mucosa -
correct answer ✅innermost layer, epithelial layer, mucus
Relaxin receptors -
correct answer ✅no receptors until close to delivery; receptors on
elastic fibers
collagen breakdown, dilates cervix
Estrogen affect -
correct answer ✅will affect mucus in vaginal vault, becomes
watery during estrus
Cervix -
correct answer ✅"Cervix uteri"
thick walled, inelastic tube with small lumen
Functions:
Site of semen deposition
Sperm reservoir
Prevent microbial contamination of uterus
Produces cervical mucus
