Abstract:
Morphologic studies were carried out on the genital organs of a total of 102 culled ewes in a postestrous season. In some 44.12 per cent there were clearly manifested gross lesions. Endometritis forms accounted for a highest percent--13.7, followed by uterus pigmentation--12.75 per cent, and hypoplasia of the uterus--11.76 per cent. Histologically, the ovaries presented yellow body cysts--13.00 per cent, follicular cysts--6 per cent, and chronic salpingitis with hydrosalpinx--19 per cent.

01:08Cloning of Dolly the Sheep
The first successfully cloned mammal was Dolly, a sheep, born on 5th July 1996 at Roslin Institute, Scotland. The cloned sheep was named after the American singer Dolly Parton. Dolly lived for seven years and died of respiratory complications, which is speculated to be due to the actual age of her DNA. Because the DNA in cloned cells belongs to an older individual, the cloned individual’s life expectancy may be affected. Indeed, analysis of Dolly’s DNA revealed shorter telomeres than other...
01:15Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus
Development of the reproductive organs in an embryo starts from a bipotential state. This means the early embryo can develop either male or female reproductive organs. The formation of these organs begins with the growth of gonadal ridges that arise from the intermediate mesoderm during the fifth week of development.
Near the gonadal ridges, two duct systems are present: the mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) and paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts). These ducts form the basis for the male...
