Q.13 Explain reproduction in Rabbit.<\/strong>
\nAnswer:<\/strong>
\nRabbits are small mammals found in several parts of the world.
\nMale reproductive system<\/strong>
\nThe male reproductive system of rabbit consists of:
\ni) A pair of testes
\nii) Associated ducts.
\niii) Glands
\nTestes produce sperms, ducts transport these sperms to external genitalia and glands add secretions to sperms.
\n(1) Testes <\/strong>
\nThey are located in a bag of skin called scrotum. Each testis consists of coiled tubes called seminiferous tubules. Sperms are formed in these tubules.
\n(2) Associated ducts Epididimys: <\/strong>
\nWhen sperms are mature, they accumulate in the collecting ducts of testes and ther pass to epididimys.
\nVas Deferens <\/strong>
\nFrom epididimys, sperms move to a sperm duct called vas deferens. Both sperm ducts join urethra just below urinary bladder and it transports both speirm and urine.
\nSemen <\/strong>
\nSemen is the material containing 10% sperms and 90% fluid.
\n(3) Glands <\/strong>
\nAs sperm pass down the ducts from testes to urethra, associated glands add various secretions.
\ni) Prostate Gland: It produces a secretion to neutralize the acidity of fluid.
\nii) Cowper’s Gland: It produces secretions that lubricate the ducts.
\niii) Seminal Vesicles: They produce secretions that provide nutrients for sperms.
\n\"Glands\"
\nFemale reproductive system <\/strong>
\nIt consists of:
\n(i) Ovaries
\n(ii) Associated ducts.
\n(i) Ovaries<\/strong>
\na. Definition<\/strong>
\nOvaries are small oval organs situated in the abdom anal cavity just ventral to kidneys.
\nEgg Cells<\/strong>
\nThe outer region of ovary produces egg cells.
\nFollicles .<\/strong>
\nThe specialized cells called follicles surrounds and nourishes each egg cell.
\n(ii) Associated ducts<\/strong>
\na. Fallopian tube<\/strong>
\nFrom ovaries, egg cells are released into fallopi an tubes
\nb. Uterus<\/strong>
\nFertilization occurs in fallopian tubes and the fertilized egg is carried to uterus.
\nc. Uterus horns<\/strong>
\nThe uterus is divided into two parts or horns.”
\nd. Birth canal<\/strong>
\nThe horns join and open into vagina or birth canal.
\ne. Cervix<\/strong>
\nCervix is the portion of uterus where sperms of male are deposited.
\n\"system
\nFertilization and development <\/strong>
\nRabbit can breed throughout the year but male rabbits are commonly sterile during the summer months. Male rabbit deposits its sperms jinto female vagina. Sperms swim through cervix and uterus
\nto fallopian tubes where they fertilize the egg cells.
\nEmbryo<\/strong>
\nZygote is carried to uterus where zy gote started dividing and is now called embryo. Embryo is implanted in uterus walls.
\nPlacenta<\/strong>.
\nA connection called placenta is established between embryo and uterus wall.
\nDevelopment of new Offspring <\/strong>
\nEmbryo develops into a new offspring; in 30-32 days after which it is born.
