ANSC 333 - Exam 1 - Female Reproduction
Theriogenology - ANS-branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on the reproductive
system in animals (male and female)
obstetrics - ANS-branch of human and veterinary medicine that deals with female during
pregnancy, parturition, puerperium
Andrology - ANS-branch of human and veterinary medicine that deals with reproductive
physiology of male
gynecology - ANS-branch of human medicine that deals with reproductive physiology of
the female
Why was there a huge plague of errors in the history of reproductive physiology? -
ANS-To conform with societal belief, expectations, and bias.
What allowed for the beginning of understanding physiology? - ANS-Animals
What was wrong with davincis picture? - ANS-He started out with a human cadaver and
finish with a cow. The cow and human placenta are not the same.
What did Hippocrates believe? - ANS-males produced offspring and females allowed
them to come to fruition
Who wrote "Generation of Animals" ? - ANS-Aristotle
What did Aristotle believe about development of offspring? - ANS-Thought semen
converted menstrual blood to developing offspring
what part of the body did Aristotle think grew first? - ANS-heart
What did Gabriel Follopius discover? - ANS-The fallopian tube (oviduct)
What did Volcherus Coiter discover? - ANS-The corpus luteum
What is the corpus luteum? - ANS-the corpus luteum develops from a ruptured follicle in
the ovary and secretes estrogen and progesterone
, What did regneir de graaf discover? - ANS-the antral follicle and found that semen
came from the testes
What did Van Leeuwenhoek discover? - ANS-used a microscope to observe semen and
found living animalcules which was semen
What did Spallanzani propose? - ANS-sperm are the fertilizing agent.
What did dumas do? - ANS-He isolated oocytes from follicles and thought it looked like
an egg yolk.
What did stynhatch do? - ANS-Isolated the structure of the primary steriod hormones
What hormones are highly abundant and stable? - ANS-steroid
What did pincus make? - ANS-Oral contraceptions but not in a way to prevent
pregnancy
What did roslin institute do? - ANS-cloned a sheep named dolly in order to produce
sheep with high value traits
Why is reproductive physiology important? - ANS-increase reproductive efficiency in
food-producing animals
selective breeding
contraception
What is a hormone? - ANS-things that allow systems and organs to communicate with
each other
What is endocrinology? - ANS-branch of biology that studies hormones
What is autocrine signaling? - ANS-Cell releases a specific ligand that will act back on
itself or the same type of cell
What is an example of autocrine signaling? - ANS-interferons and cytokines
What is paracine signaling? - ANS-Cell A releases a ligand and will act upon a different
cell type
