Artificial vagina

Cervix

Organ of cow

The vulva has three main functions: the passage of urine, the opening for mating and serves as
part of the birth canal. Included in this structure are the lips and clitoris. The vulva lips are
located at the sides of the opening and appear wrinkled and dry when the cow is not in estrus.

The cervix is a thick-walled organ forming a connection between the vagina and uterus (Figure

2). It is composed of dense connective tissue and muscle and will be the primary landmark
when inseminating cattle. The opening into the cervix protrudes back into the vagina.

The vestibule (Fig. 1) is a part of the reproductive tract shared with the urinary system. It is
approximately 4 inches long. Openings from the urinary bladder and a blind sac located below
the opening of the urethra called the suburethral diverticulum are located on its floor
A cow has two bean-shaped ovaries that are around 3 cm long and are suspended from the
broad ligament near the end of the oviducts. The size of the ovaries varies with stage of the
reproductive cycle and age of the female. The ovary consists of an inner part, the medulla, and
an outer part, the cortex.

By Dr. 1) encountered as one proceeds into the reproductive tract include the vestibule, vagina,
cervix, uterus, oviducts and ovaries. ... The internal parts are located beneath the rectum,
which allows rectal palpations of the tract to be done easily.
