Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone used to induce [action] only when a mare has a follicle that is [number] mm or larger.

Compared to our other domestic species, the mare has a very unique implantation process during early development of the embryo / fetus. There were 5 features or structures which were described in lecture that are unique for the mare (starting at about d 6) and are required in order to have a successful pregnancy.  Choose 4 and describe each of those components – why are they important or what do they do?  Include in your answer when they occur.  Number them 1-4. 1. 2. 3. 4.  

Of the following, which would be options you could use in order to avoid the possibility of twins in your breeding program?  Select all that apply.

11 year old male (approximately 50 kg) unrestrained passenger involved in a car versus tree MVC. The child was ejected from the vehicle and found 25 feet away. Multiple lacerations are noted on the face, fracture R ulna and fractured R femur. The patient is unconscious with a cuffed 6.5 mm ID endotracheal tube in place, breath sounds are coarse rhonchi with crackles bilaterally. The physician requests that the RCP set up the ventilator with appropriate initial settings using volume control ventilation. Please select the most appropriate choice from the below listed settings. Vt (ml)          f           FiO2         PEEP       Flow(lpm)      It (sec)

If a mare had a 32 mm follicle and you had to breed her today with cooled semen but you only had one dose, it would be best to use Deslorelin as your ovulation agent. 

The white, inner placental membrane which surrounds the foal itself is called the ___________.

The equine embryo has passed from the oviduct into the uterus by day 4 following ovulation.

A competitor analysis can be used as a tool for organizing the information a firm collects about its competitors. 

Oxytocin should generally be administered to help release a [structure] following parturition, or it can be administered to help clear [liquid] from the uterus of the mare post-breeding. (both answers = one word)
