Presentation Transcript

  1. Rat Reproductive System Dissection

  2. Pre-lab • Prepare the dissection tray and equipment. • Put on your gloves. • Retrieve your rat from the tray in your cabinet. • Remove the skin from around your rat and place it in your zip-lock bag. • Lay the rat in the dissection tray ventral side up.

  3. Sharing Your Rat • While one group at the table dissects the female rat, the other group will dissect the male rat. • After you complete your section of the lab report, switch rats. • Female begins at slide 4. • Male begins at slide 13.

  4. Female Structures- Ovaries Look for the ovaries embedded in adipose tissue. Fallopian tube Ovary

  5. Female Structures- Ovaries In the rat, the ovaries are located at the superior end of the uterine horn. In each picture, the probe is pointing to the ovaries.

  6. Female structures- Ovaries Note the blisters on the ovaries. These may be developing follicles which contain the secondary oocyte.

  7. Female Structures: Uterus This is the V-shaped uterine horn in a rat that is not pregnant

  8. Female Structures: Uterus The uterine horns meet at a structure called the "body of the uterus". The body opens at the cervix into the vagina. Note the bladder in the foreground.

  9. Female structures: Uterus This is the V shaped uterine hornin a pregnant rat. The rat embryos are developing in these horns.

  10. Female Structures- Uterus A uterine horn containing well developed embryos.

  11. Female Structures that Support the Developing Embryo

  12. A very immature embryo

  13. Male Structures-Scrotum Scrotum

  14. Scrotum- Testes Cut open the scrotum and scrotal sacs to reveal the epididymis and testes. Testes Epididymis

  15. Male Structures- Vas Deferens

  16. Male Structures- Seminal Vesicles Seminal vesicle

  17. Male Structures- Prostate Gland bladder The rat has two prostate glands located under the bladder. A male human only has one prostate gland.

  18. Male Structures- Penis If it has not already been done, cut anteriorly into the urogenitalopening. This will expose the penis.

  19. Clean-up Place your rat in your zip-lock bag and throw the bag with the rat in the garbage. No tears please. Clean and dry your instruments. Forever
