Question

Kindly answer all the questions. Thank you.

1. Compare and contrast the cat ovary with that of a human. Are there more or fewer follicles in varying stages of development? To what do you attribute this difference?

2. What is the role of the corpus luteum in pregnancy?

3. How does the structure of the uterus differ from that of the v?

4.  The v contains no glandular structures (unlike the uterus), yet mucus is required for the appropriate function of this region. From where is this mucus produced (and what is its role in normal v function)?

Answer 1

Ans- cat ovary contain more follicles at the mating stage Because human female give birth to single child normally but the cat female give birth to many kitten at a time.

Ans-2 corpus luteum secrete the hormone progesterone which is required to develop and maintain pregnancy.

Ans-3 uterus is present between the v and fallopian tubes. It is a pocket like structure while the v is a tube like structure. V is a narrow tube like while uterus is expanded in different directions.

Ans-4 the cervix play a role in the mucus production and it is required to keep the v wet and at a specific pH.
