Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the external organs of generation.
Example Sentences:
(1) The modified technique for transplanting one mammary gland of a lactating goat to the neck, with the mammary (pudic) artery and vein anastomosed to the carotid artery and jugular vein respectively, is described.
(2) The extrinsic pudic-epigastric artery and vein as well as the entire intramuscular arteriolar network was innervated by noradrenergic axons.
(3) The infusions were performed over a 3-d period directly into the extra pudic artery on both sides of the mammary gland, and samples were taken simultaneously of the downstream extra pudic arterial blood and also of subcutaneous abdominal venous blood.
(4) The importance of clamping the external pudic vein, when sampling mammary venous blood from the caudal superficial epigastric vein, is indicated.
(5) This response is triggered by the fastest afferents in the pudic nerve.
(6) On the day following operation, the urethral sphincter responds to stimulation of its intact motor nerve, the pudic nerve by reflex (R) and direct (M) responses analogous to those of the intact animal anaesthetized with chloralose.
(7) The urethral reflex activity, either spontaneous or triggered by stimulation of the pudic nerve, may be inhibited, i: to a moderate degree by passive bladder distension; ii: almost completely by activation of vesicomotor neurones which provoke the bladder contraction.
(8) The central arteriole of the cremaster muscle was found to be a distal segment of the external spermatic artery which branched from the pudic-epigastric artery that in turn arose from the common iliac artery.

(16) 125I-Labelled insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) was infused as the free form directly into the pudic artery supplying one gland of lactating goats (n = 6).
