Detailed Explanation of Each Match
- 1. Preputial diverticulum → (e) Boar: The boar has a preputial diverticulum — a blind pouch near the prepuce opening that collects smegma and urine, producing the characteristic strong odor of boar.
- 2. Double folded prepuce → (d) Stallion: The stallion has a double-folded (bilaminar) prepuce — an inner and outer fold that covers the glans penis when retracted.
- 3. Bulbus glandis → (b) Dog: The bulbus glandis is the bulb-shaped erectile tissue at the base of the glans penis in dogs — it engorges during mating causing the 'tie' (lock) phenomenon.
- 4. Urethral process → (a) Ram: The ram (and buck) has a urethral process — a slender extension of the urethra beyond the glans penis tip. It plays a role in dispersing semen into the cervical folds during natural mating.
- 5. Ovulation Fossa → (f) Mare: The mare is unique — ovulation occurs only at the ovulation fossa (a depression on the concave border of the kidney-shaped ovary). This is why mare ovaries are bean/kidney-shaped.
- 6. Ovarian bursa → (c) Bitch: The bitch has a completely enclosed ovarian bursa (a peritoneal fold covering the ovary), which is important clinically — it must be opened during ovariohysterectomy.
