What Hormone is release from the PVN of the hypothalamus?
Oxytocin
-
What hormones are produced from the Anterior Pituitary Gland?
FSH and LH
-
What hormones are released from the Posterior Pituitary Gland?
Oxytocin (stored and released but produced in PVN)
-
-
What is the function of the Cervix?

-
What are the 3 layers (from outside to in) of the Uterus and what are their functions?
- 1. Perimetrium: Protection
- 2. Myometrium: Contraction for sperm movement and birth
- 3. Endometrium: Houses carnucles and glands
-
What is the function of the Vagina?
- Receives penis during Copulation
- Secretes small amounts of mucus

-
Is this a sow or a gilt? How do you know the difference?
Gilt: Has a smaller reproductive tract and the ovaries have less structures present on them
-
What is the function of the Vulva?
- Passageway for urine
- Receptor for penis during copulation
- Passageway for fetus during birth
- Protection - prevents material from environment from entering tract
-
What are the functions the the Epididymis?
- Receive sperm from testis
- Transports sperm to urethra
-
What are the 3 parts of the Epididymis and their functions?
- 1. Head: Receive sperm from testes; Concentrates sperm
- 2. Body: Sperm maturation
- 3. Tail: Sperm storage

What are the 3 parts of Spermatic Cord?
- 1. Pampiniform Plexus
- 2. Cremaster Muscle
- 3. Vas Deferens
-
What are the functions of the Spermatic Cord?
- Provide attachment and support of the testis to the body
- Provide vascular, nervous, and lymphatic connection to body

-
What are the functions of the Vas Deferens?
- Transport sperm
- Non-excited: Steady smooth contractions
- Excited: Increase contractions (strength and number)
