In this veterinary physiology lesson, you will understand how the ovarian cycle works in domestic animals, focusing on the main hormonal changes that occur in the ovary throughout the reproductive cycle. We will study the follicular phase, marked by the growth of ovarian follicles and the production of estrogen, and the luteal phase, characterized by the formation of the corpus luteum and the production of progesterone. We will also understand how ovulation occurs, the role of the pre-ovulatory LH surge, and why the corpus luteum regresses when there is no pregnancy. During the class, the role of the main hormones involved in the ovarian cycle, such as FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, inhibin, and prostaglandin F2α, will also be explained. You will understand how the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis controls follicular growth, maturation of the dominant follicle, ovulation, and luteolysis. This class is important for those studying veterinary medicine, especially in the areas of animal physiology, animal reproduction, reproductive clinic, veterinary gynecology, and veterinary endocrinology. Understanding the ovarian cycle is essential to understanding the estrous cycle, the reproductive behavior of females, the timing of ovulation, the formation of the corpus luteum, and the initial maintenance of pregnancy. If you are reviewing for a test, internship, residency, or want to better understand the reproductive physiology of domestic females, this class will help you organize your reasoning in a simple and didactic way. Topics covered in class: ovarian cycle in domestic animals, follicular phase, luteal phase, follicular growth, dominant follicle, estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, LH surge, ovulation, corpus luteum, luteolysis, prostaglandin F2α, and veterinary reproductive physiology.
