Definition
Cell division resulting in the same number of chromosomes e.g. skin cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Cell division resulting in half the number of chromosomes in daughter cells e.g. gametes (ovum and sperm) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Primary sex organ e.g. testes and ovaries-they produce gametes and sex hormones (testosterone is made in the interstitial area of the testes and estrogen is released by follicles in the ovaries when they are maturing an egg) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Making sperm; occurs from puberty throughout life, about 1 million made daily |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Making ovum (eggs). Born with about 2 million oocytes and begin releasing eggs at puberty, ending during menopause |
|
|
Term
Female Reproductive System consists of: |
|
Definition
Ovaries, duct system (fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina), and external genitalia |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Site of oocyte development, maturation (FSH) and release of oocytes (LH-makes follicle burst and begins E & P secretion) |
|
|
Term
Follicle Stimulating Hormone |
|
Definition
Targets ovaries and testes. Stimulates egg and follicle development, and sperm production. Released by the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND, which, is controlled by the hypothalamus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1. Primary follicle-immature oocyte 2. Graafian or Vesicular follicle-maturing oocyte 3. Ovulation (approx. every 28 days)-follicle ruptures and corpus luteum forms |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Most common site for fertilisation (within 24 hours of ovulation. Are attached to the uterus but not to the ovaries (the egg is swept into the fallopian tube) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Receives the FERTILIZED egg, nourishes and retains the fetus. Between the bladder and rectum, hollow and muscular. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1. Endometrium-inner layer, implantation, sloughs off during menses 2. Myometrium-smooth muscle 3. Serous layer-outer visceral peritoneum layer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Cyclic changes in endometrium and hormones (estrogen and progesterone) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1. Menses-sloughing of endometrium, E and P levels @ lowest 2. Proliferative stage-endometrium proliferates 3. Secretory Stage-endometrium ripens ready for implantation (surge of E and P) |
|
|
Term
Hormonal Control of Menstrual Cycle: |
|
Definition
1. FSH stimulates follicles 2. Follicles produce E as they grow and uterus enters proliferative stage 3. E levels spike and LH is released, OVULATION OCCURS 4. Corpus Luteum goes on producing E and P, uterus enters secretory stage 5. E and P inhibit growth of another egg 6. Waiting to see if fertilization occurs 7. Corpus Luteum dies and E and P levels plummet (menses begins) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Made in the anterior pituitary gland. In females-stimulates ovulation and E & P secretion In males-stimulates testes to make testosterone. Hypothalamus sends message to anterior pituitary. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
inhibits LH and FSH so a new egg cannot develop, tricks the body into thinking it is pregnant |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
testes, duct system (epididymis, ductus deferens, urethra), and accessory organs (seminal vesicle, prostate, bulbourethral gland), penis and scrotum (external) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Divisions called lobules. Lobules contain seminiferous tubule (produce sperm), inside the scrotum (maintain lower temperature) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Inside the lobules, tightly coiled, empty sperm into the rete testis--epididymis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Storage site (approx. 20 days) for sperm after they have entered through the seminiferous tubules and rete testis. Here, they gain the ability to swim and mature. The epididymis can contract to release sperm into the ductus deferens. |
|
|
Term
Interstitial cells (around seminiferous tubules) |
|
Definition
produce androgen and testosteron |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Sperm transport mobile. Ends in the ejaculatory duct, which unites with the urethra. Runs over the inguinal canal, over the bladder, and moves sperm through peristalsis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
sevres the reproductive and urinary system |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
base of bladder, 60% of semen, thick secretion-high in fructose, prostaglandins, and vit C. Nourishes and energizes sperm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Encircle bladder neck, activates sperm, 30% of semen produced here |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Inferior to prostate. Drains into the urethra before ejaculation-in order to neutralize the urethra before the sperm enter (urine is acidic-potent to sperm) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
flagellated, DNA found in head, 20-150 million to be fertile. Half chromosomes of a normal body cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Sperm and fluid. Alkaline (to neutralize vagine). Plasmin inhibits bacteria |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Male sex hormone. LH responsible for production |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Cutting the ductus deferens in the testes to stop sperm transportation |
