| Cervix (cranial view)- Lochia (L) has been expelled through the cervix (CX) and it has pooled in the ventral region of the cranial vagina (CV) here. In the live cow, lochia would be discharged to the exterior. Ovaries- A regressing CL from the pregnancy (CLP) is present on each of the right and left ovaries indicating a double ovulation. Only one conceptus developed. A regressing CL (RCL) from a cycle prior to the pregnancy is present on the right ovary. There is no evidence of follicular development in either ovary. Uterus, in-situ- The most dramatic reduction in uterine size occurred between day 1 and day 5. Uterine length is reduced from about 85cm (day 1) to 58cm (day 4). The left uterine horn (LUH) housed the conceptus during pregnancy and is larger than the right uterine horn (RUH). The broad ligament (BL) and rectum (R) can be observed. |
