Juvenile Castration In Cats

The most common risks associated with neonatal circumcision include loss of penile sensation, bleeding, infection, unsatisfactory cosmesis because of excess skin, skin bridges, and urinary retention. Most complications are minor and studies show that there is a 0.2% to 0.6% complication rate. (WHO, 2009) More drawbacks of circumcision can include different elements that effect sexual function. The removed foreskin is erogenous tissue that contains a number of nerve endings that can contribute to the sexual response of the penis. When retracted, the foreskin provides loose skin on the shaft of the penis, which facilitates sexual intercourse. Also, the foreskin is a protector of the sensitive glans that can lose sensitivity from constant exposure

The cat dissection is the culminating component of this course because it solidifies our knowledge of anatomy and physiology by applying it to a tangible specimen. Mammalian dissection provides an experience that two dimensional diagrams are incapable of and serves as an indicator of whether entering a profession that involves the application of anatomy and physiology is suitable for students in this course. The cat dissection builds on the previous dissections of the fetal pigs and other individual structures throughout the year by applying them to a cat that shares similar well-developed organs and muscles found in human anatomy. I found value in recognizing the similarities and differences not only between human and cat anatomies, but also

49.) Scrotum: Is the sac that is located below the penis and it contains the testicle. The numerous glands in the skin of the scrotum produce sweat. These responses help regulate the temperature of the testicles. The temperature in the scrotum is 2-3 degrees centigrade lower than in the interior of the body. Sperm can be produced only at a temperature several degrees lower than the normal body temperature, and any variation can result in sterility.

In every town and city across the country, local humane societies and animal control systems has been relying on catching and killing feral outdoor cats to control their population. Over the last century in the United States, a program called Trap-Neuter-Return, or TNR, has been implemented. With this program, the cats are trapped, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, then returned to where they were found to live out their lives as feral cats. The program’s effectiveness has come in to question recently as feral cat colonies are still on the rise.

Furthermore, she explained the process and methods used for spaying and neutering gets rid of vital organs–the testes and ovaries. Becker said, “a complete removal of the gonads...can force the adrenal glands to produce sex hormones”( Becker para 33). This means the adrenal glands over work themselves by doing extra work, and it’s difficult to keep up with the body’s demand for sex hormones. Just like any other organ, every organ is important for the body to function well. Removing these valuable organs would be removing the bodies ability to produce significant sex-hormone secreting tissues. She uses variety of research studies on disorders and diseases linked to spaying and neutering to support the fact that spaying and neutering worsens the health of a dog, whereas sterilization would be the solution to the

This complex organ can be found in upper right side of the abdomen. It is unique because it is a dual functioning organ. The first function is to control the body’s blood sugar level. The second function is to secrete insulin and glucagon. Lastly, I studied the testes of the fetal pig, which I found at the end of the scrotum under the skin. The teste are a key part in the process of secreting testosterone. After completing this section I began to dissect the last system of the pig.

You will never have to worry about being to busy to take care of your cats. When you go on vacations you won’t ever have to ask, or find anyone to take care of your presious

Natalie Angier, discusses that we spend a lot of money on cats; yet cats are wild at heart. Peter P. Marra and Chris Santella authors of Cat Wars, view cats as “cuddly killers.” Cats are viewed as invasive species as a contamination to the environment. Outdoor cats are a threat to wildlife as predators. Also cats are a danger to human health from different types of illnesses. The Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), view cats as human alternative to euthanizing strays.

Semen is the male reproductive fluid, containing spermatozoa in suspension. Sperm is a male reproductive cell. Prostate is a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals and releasing prostatic fluid. Urethra is a duct by which urine is convey out of the body from the bladder, and which in male vertebrates also conveys semen. Penis is the male genital organ of higher vertebrates, carrying the duct for the transfer of sperm during copulation. Glans is the head of a penis. A shaft is the cylindrical part of the penis between the scrotum and head. Seminiferous tubules is any of the numerous long convoluted tubules in the testis which are the sites where spermatozoa mature. Seminal vesicles is each of a pair of glands that open into the vas deferens near its junction with the urethra and secrete many of the components of semen. Bladder is a membranous sac in human and other animals, which urine is collected for excretion.

This is not an uncommon surgery. Working in the recovery department these surgeries usually happen a few times a month at my hospital. Aftercare for people with this type of surgeries involves ice and elevation. Education should focus on normal side effects such as scrotal swelling, which can last for up to twenty-one days following surgery (“Spermatoceles,” n.d.). Wearing supportive underwear can help to reduce swelling and may provide some form of comfort following the surgical procedure. Surgery should be a last resort and the practitioner should refer the patient to the appropriate provider. It is possible after surgery that the epididymis can be blocked leading to infertility problems (“Spermatoceles,” n.d.). The only hypothesized

This sequence of mobilization proceeding to crural separation, then to inferior wedge pubectomy, lastly to re-routing of the urethra around the shaft of the penis when necessary, is known as the “transperineal progression approach” and was first described by Webster. The various components of this approach had been described decades beforehand by Marion, Waterhouse, and TurnerWarwick amongst others. Webster’s particular contribution was to rationalise their innovations in one approach (Webster and Ramon, 1991).

For the cat lab, there is no hypothesis as this is a observational activity. The purpose of this lab is to compare the anatomy and physiology of a Domestic House Cat, to that of a human. The references are “New” Lab manual, and Disecction of the Cat. The scale of refrence is one bar = 3mm.

It is common for the semen of 2-3 bulls to be used to ensure at least one quality sample to produce a pregnancy. In the instance that multiple donors are used, parentage is confirmed via DNA analysis. Most frequently, nonsurgical insemination is performed. This method calls for a trained and accommodating elephant as a large bore cannula is inserted into the lower urogenital tract. A 3m endoscope is inserted through the cannula and conducted to the hymen in first time mothers and the cervix or uterine horn of a cow that has calved. A small insemination cannula is used to deposit semen into the vagina, threaded through the hymen in nulliparous cows. In parous cows the semen may be deposited further into the uterus.14 Surgical insemination

Testes are kept in the scrotum sac and are two oval shaped glands, about 8,5cm long and 2.5cm wide. A midline septum divides the scrotum into two halves and each testical is covered in two tunics; the Tunica vaginalis from the peritoneum and the Tunica albuginea which is a deeper tunic and a fibrous capsule. The septa from this layer then divides the testes into 250 – 300 wedge shaped compartments or lobules. It is in these lobules that seminiferous tubules are found, where sperm is made. Each lobule contains about 1 – 4 seminiferous tubules. The network into which seminiferous tubules empty is called the Rete testis. After which, the epididymis receives sperm from the rete testis network.
